Library Organization for Student Literacy Development

Help me give my students a true library experience. I want them to learn how to find books in their local libraries, starting with an organized classroom library.

My Project

I would like to give my students an authentic library experience by providing them with an authentically organized classroom library. This will teach them how to be responsible with their own materials as well as how to search and find resources to help them in their learning.

This is a very important literacy skill that students need to succeed in primary, secondary and higher education.

My students have had the misfortune of having others destroy the property in the classroom library and replacing the items has been a financial burden. This project will help me to provide the best for my students.
