Elementary school librarians today are working harder than ever, sometimes serving in two or more libraries. Most have very little time to develop lesson plans, particularly the task of relating them to standards. Elementary school librarians need materials aligned with Common Core standards that are ready to go. Written by working school librarians with 44 years of combined experience, this instructional book is designed for use with primary grade students and offers 37 library lessons that have been tested and refined in the authors' elementary school libraries.The lessons are constructed with follow-up materials and recommended book lists to encourage classroom teacher collaboration and continuation of the lesson. Each lesson is accompanied by reproducible patterns and worksheets and includes complete bibliographic information. Also included in each lesson are a description of the standards applied, skills and objectives addressed, recommended grade levels, lists of props and materials needed, a step-by-step lesson description, and follow-up activities.

Popular authors and presenters, Pat Messner and Brenda Copeland provide worksheets, reproducible patterns and related reading based activities linked to school curriculums to get students interested in reading and in reading more every day.

This easy-to-use guide will be invaluable to school librarians and district library professionals in training library aides and paraprofessionals to help set up and run a school library.

Written in clear, simple language, this book provides information that will help an aide or paraprofessional manage a school library.
