The Commonsense Guide to Your Classroom Library

Literacy champions Donalyn Miller and Colby Sharp provide teachers with the advice they need to transform the classroom library into a true instructional partner. They show how to procure and weed books based on quantity, diversity, currency and relevance, and organization and use. From there, they follow the lifecycle of Sharp's classroom library throughout the year, showing ways he evaluates and supports his students as they become increasingly independent in their reading.
