In our classroom we have book tubs all
over the room labeled according to author or genre. It takes
up some space but the books are so accessible to the children (and
teacher!) and I've seen so much more interest in reading since
there's so many materials so easily available. These are some
of the labels I use-I print them, mount them on cardstock, laminate,
and attach to book basket with masking or packaging tape. I
use tubs bought from Dollar Tree which are about a foot and a half
long and a foot wide-each tub holds at least 20 books, some have
close to 50. There are approximately 30 tubs that are
available all year long. If we are doing a particular unit, I
bring that tub to our Gathering Area where it's most visible and
accessible. Thanks to my dear friend
Sarah Simpson
who convinced me to get the books off the shelf and out in the
room!! |

These are the basic labels-I hope to add more! Some have two
sets of labels because I have too many books for one basket-I keep
the baskets color coded, especially if there's more than one.
Email me if you have
suggestions for other baskets! |
