Donalyn Miller & Colby Sharp
Building, Cultivating and Managing a Classroom Library
Building and curating an engaging, relevant, inclusive classroom library requires more than adding a lot of books to the shelves. How many books do you need? Which books match students’ interests and support their literacy development? How can teachers fine tune their classroom libraries to offer students the most positive reading experiences possible? In this workshop, experienced teachers and children’s literature advocates, Colby Sharp and Donalyn Miller share suggestions, reflective questions and resources for creating and maintaining classroom libraries that invite and challenge young readers.
