LIBRARY NEWS! In the NCCS elementary library classes, students are listening to various stories. Here are some of the stories our elementary grades are listening to and reading right now: 5th graders - The Best School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson. 4th graders - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl 3rd graders - Meet Molly by Valerie Tripp K-2 students - Various school stories such as Curious George Goes to School and Arthur's Teacher Trouble. In each library class, students listen to stories like the ones listed above and respond to the literature by either taking notes, answering questions verbally, drawing pictures, or writing answers to story questions. DID YOU KNOW? Studies show that schools with strong library programs that encourage reading for enjoyment have students who perform better on standardized testing. Since reading for fun is so important, each student chooses one or two books that they like each time they visit the library. That means that each week in our elementary libraries, about 400 books get checked out!

BOOK TALKS!
What is a Book Talk?
One way students in our library classes respond to the books they read from the library is to participate in a book talk. A book talk is a student's opportunity to tell their classmates about the library book they read at home. Each book talk consists of a summary of the book as well as the student's opinion of the book. Book talks encourage students to read for fun!
