<div dir="ltr"><div>We do a couple things to help out students practice shelving.</div><div>One is an online game: <a href="http://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/play-shelver/">http://www.mrs-lodges-library.com/play-shelver/</a></div><div>And then we also have them reorder carts of actual books, and then check them before they are shelved. We don't let students shelve books until they can do those two things correctly.</div><div><br></div>Once students have graduated to shelving books, we use color coded pieces of paper to check their work. Each student claims a color at the beginning of the year. They place a small piece of colored paper sticking out of the top of each book they shelve. It is really easy to find the books they have misshelved and retrain them on specific mistakes they are making. <div><br></div><div>And just yesterday I made a magnetic label with the alphabet on it so they can move it to whatever book cart they are shelving!</div><div><br></div><div>And here's the handbook I made to train students (pgs 11-23)...just in case it's helpful.</div><br><div class="gmail_chip gmail_drive_chip" style="width:396px;height:18px;max-height:18px;background-color:#f5f5f5;padding:5px;color:#222;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;font-size:13px;border:1px solid #ddd;line-height:1"><a href="https://drive.google.com/a/d219.org/file/d/1j_ZhRCxcaJ80fsCHtn4QAZ_B5RNrZxB5/view?usp=drive_web" target="_blank" style="display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap;text-decoration:none;padding:1px 0px;border:none;width:100%"><img style="vertical-align: bottom; border: none;" src="https://drive-thirdparty.googleusercontent.com/16/type/application/pdf"> <span dir="ltr" style="color:#15c;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:bottom">student worker handbook.pdf</span></a></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 12, 2019 at 12:35 PM Kristi Pierce via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">It might help to assign a specific set of shelves to each helper.
