Stretchy Library Lessons
HI everyone! What a great day yesterday! I said I'd post about the book I was given. It's from a set called "Stretchy Library Lessons" by Pat Miller ISBN 1-57950-083-8. There are 3 in the set : Library Skills ( the one I have ) , Reading Activities ISBN 1-57950-082-X and Research Skills ISBN 1-57950-084-6. It is very American in content, but has given me some excellent ideas. From the back of the book "Stretchy Library Lessons : Library Skills has 10 lessons that focus on basic library skills, including parts of a book, fiction & non-fiction and the Dewey Decimal System. Each lesson has one 20 minute activity and one stretchy activity that you can tailor to fit your time frame. The lessons include: a listing of the library skills covered, grade range, statement of purpose, list of materials, items to prepare in advance, additional materials needed and appropriate resources. " Mine was given to me by an American librarian friend. Good Luck.

ReplyDeleteI have ordered avxopy through Wheelers. It is 35.99 but with a 30% discount voucher it was okay.Haven't got it though as Wheelers say it is a prerelease title. Looked at Amazon too but when you convert and get the hefty freight costs it isnt cheaper . However through Amazon you can get many different titles written by Pat Miller for use in libraries.
