Library Independence in Third Grade!

This is a guest post from our library media specialist, Beth Redford.

Third graders are learning skills to help them find books independently in the library. First they learned how to use the library's online catalog, OPALS, to find the call numbers for books.

Great teamwork searching for call numbers!

Then they practiced putting things in alphabetical order, including letters, words, and finally call numbers on students posing as books.

Are these "books" in alphabetical order yet?

After the alphabetical order practice, the scholars were able to find fiction books on the library shelves, because those books are in alphabetical order by the authors' last names. The third graders are so proud of their skills in searching and finding books independently!

A guest post from our teacher librarian, Beth Redford

 



Third graders have been learning new skills to help them use the library independently. They are practicing how to search the library computer catalog

• if you know what a book is called (that's a title search),


• if you know who wrote the book (that's an author search)


• if you know what a book is about (that's a subject or a keyword search)

They will be able to use these search skills in other libraries as well, and also for their third and fourth grade research projects. The most exciting part of the day was when a scholar used his new skills to look for a book about building forts. He was thrilled with the book he found, independently!
