How+do+I+sort+the+books?

There are several ways to sort your books in your classroom library. The catergories will depend on the books you have and the interest of your students. Below are some suggestions to get you started. It is important to include **Canadian Authors**, **First Nation Books**, as well as many different genres. Ideally you will sort all your autobiographies for example in one basket, but within that basket are books at several different rading levels. This ensures that students can practice selecting "Just Right" books for themselves.
