(It may be helpful to create three separate Swap Stations according to reading level.) • Display various books by Beverly Cleary around each Swap Station. For instance, display such titles as Hullabaloo ABC and Lucky Chuck at the station for younger readers. Show off any Ramona Quimby or Ralph Mouse books at the station dedicated to middle-grade readers. For older readers, display some of Beverly Cleary’s young-adult titles, such as Fifteen. • Create comfortable seating where children can “test read” their newly traded books. • Allow children to come and go from the Swap Station to re-trade books as they wish.
