[CASL-L] Visual Booklists

[Jane Martellino]

Hi y’all,
Holiday greeting from Houston to all my former CT colleagues!

An elementary idea for visual booklists is this…
I made posters also in Canva and then print for parent handouts but also
print on a poster maker. The posters are placed on the ends of bookcases
and in our large windows.  I’ve taught call number for years to k-1
students but nothing has worked better than these posters.  The kids have a
real need to understand and use the call number when they want to find the
specific books. It’s super fun to see parents and kids looking at the
posters from outside since I double side the posters so you can read them
from inside or outside.  Our windows are along a well walked sidewalk.

I can share any of the actual pdf’s or template I’d anyone wants it.

Happy holidays,
Jane
