Kris Farley in Ladysmith tackled a big re-organization of the easy reader books in her collection.  I know a lot of librarians struggle with how to make this section of the library most useful to very beginning readers and their families.  Here’s what Kris did:

I kept the “we read together” books separate, then have them separated by First, preschool, levels 1,2 and 3 then Chapter and the non-fiction. I made up a chart based on the description on the back of some books to describe how each level is different. This also helps me see what levels need some adding to.

She’s had a lot of positive comments from young readers in her community.  How are you handling this?
