“Until now, I never associated a successful independent reading program with a well- organised classroom library.” (Classroom teacher)
The issues:Teachers control how they are managedStudents don’t know how to select books they
can readThe book collection is too difficult for students
to accessToo little time has been set aside for reading

Classroom libraries
Visible, attractive and inviting area in the roomCollections of books, sorted according to
category (When students help create the library, they use it more.)
Levelled books, clearly labelled so that students can identify their level easily
(40-50% of books should be in this category)Supportive charts and postersStudent and teacher recommendations, ratings,
book talksUse your school librarian!!
