[CASL-L] Revamping Picture Books and Easy Non-Fic

[Ballachino, Laurie]

Hi,

I've been grouping some picture books (fiction and nonfiction) together and
putting them into labeled baskets. Some of the groupings include: wordless
picture books, princess books, books by Mo Willems, Pete the Cat, Dr.
Seuss, all the holidays have separate buckets, books about libraries,
dinosaurs, books about pets, etc. I feel that the students are better able
to find their favorite books.

Hope this helps!
