My K and 1 students are only allowed to choose books from 2 tables or any
book bin / display. I have a "favorites" display near the E section,
consisting of superheroes, disney, etc. Aso, many bins are located either
in the shelves or counters: Pete the Cat, Fly guy, Biscuit, Henry and
Mudge, Fancy Nancy, Mo Willems...
I teach 2nd + how to look up books and use SELF MARKERS.
