You know about fiction and nonfiction, right?
But did you know there are ways to organize your nonfiction section to make it more accessible to readers with different reading preferences?
Nonfiction writer and expert Melissa Stewart has helped me reshape my nonfiction collection so students can find books that match the way they like to learn.
In this workshop, you’ll explore your library catalog and discover ways to sort your nonfiction collection in a more child-friendly way. Together, we’ll deepen our understanding of the five types of nonfiction and build a list of resources you may already have in your library.
Kimbra Power, Barefoot Librarian, Shanghai American School
I’m an Elementary Librarian who loves being in front of the students sharing books. I advocate for all students to make their own choices, I advocate that picture books are for everyone, and that graphic novels and audio books are real books. When I’m not reading with kiddos, I’m planning events like Books to Eat, Battle of the Books and our annual Cardboard Challenge; I love a project.
