Here you go, Jodie: Genre Key This is my Upper School (grades 6 - 9) key. My Lower School key is similar but has an Animals category. Obviously, you'll want to adjust the key for your school population.

Hope all is well with you!

Hi Stephanie,

 

We are in the process, so I'd love to know if anyone has some great tips.  We are going slowly starting with all new books and then moving into series.  We used genres that our students are familiar with and I took a lot of our decisions from Kelsey Bogan's webinars with Demco and her blog.  It's a mess right now, but our goal is to be genrefied by the end of the school year.
