I was wondering what lessons you teach to get the students ready to look for books on their own? I work in a K-3 school so I mostly do these lessons with 2nd and 3rd. Here is what I normally do:

1) Lessons about alphabetical order, explain that books are alphabetical by author's last name, have students practice putting words in alphabetical order.

2) Library scavenger hunt where students identify the different sections of the library 

3) Lessons where I show students what call numbers look like, I give them flashcards with call numbers and have them bring me a book with the matching info.

4) Lessons teaching the students how to search Destiny and write down call numbers. 

Does anyone have any lesson suggestions? 

What do you do?

Thank you!
