Students in grades K-3 learn a variety of skills to help them become independent library citizens. Several of the skills included are proper book handling, selection and checkout procedures, and locating books that are both interesting and also “just right” or “best fit” books at appropriate reading levels. Many lessons are taught through literature, supporting classroom teachers with past or present learning concepts or skills.

Students in grades 4-6 learn skills to become independent readers who choose literature based on personal interests as well as how to use research effectively. Students in grades 7 and 8 can access the library before and after school, during lunch and during the RTI period at the end of the day. Students in this grade are reading literature that suits their personal interests and academic needs.

By the end of eighth grade, students will meet the following essential skills:

• Identify the task and determine the resources needed

• Locate sources, use information, and present findings

• Evaluate the product and learning process.

• Use information safely, ethically, and legally.

• Pursue personal interest through literature and other creative expressions.
