<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Dawn - I'm so sorry you were offended by the teacher who wrote about stigma. I'm sure they didn't mean that you and your staff would shame a student reading below grade level, but other kids, particularly that student's classmates, would. We can't be everywhere at all times, and not all behavior can be monitored. I myself was horror-stricken several years ago when a student survey indicated that the place in school where the most bullying occurred was the library! We subsequently beefed up adult presence there, and there have been no further complaints. I know you can also arrange things to best serve your students.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 9:25 AM Renee Brown 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"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">We have a similar situation where we were allowed to expand our library into the next room.

Currently, this library has a JH section with a range of titles that I can't quite tell what the criteria was for putting them in the JH collection. It seems very hit or miss to me. My preference would be to shelve all chapter Fiction titles together. In a different library, the practice is to put a YA sticker on the back of upper-grade content books and set an age limit for their circulation.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Renee Brown<div><i>District Librarian</i></div><div><i>Computer Teacher</i><br></div><div><i>Learn and Serve Team Coordinator</i></div><div>Arthur CUSD #305</div><div>217-578-2229<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img src="http://2017.code4lib.org/assets/img/sponsors/iSchoolwordmark_Imark.png" alt="See the source image" width="200" height="43"><br></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><b> (Class of 2011)</b></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 9:00 AM Barb Miller via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">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">In a previous district we had three collections, primary, elementary, and middle school.

Students in grade 3-5 do not always read at grade level and it is very difficult for them to go select a book that is at their level. A big part of their hesitation is peer reaction to low level books and another is the pressure they feel to actually tell us they need a low level book. Creating a fiction/nonfiction library helps to eliminate the stigma students have towards reading (at a lower level) and it will help normalize the fact that reading level abilities vary. In the years I have been an educator I have seen how reluctant students are to choose wisely (in terms of book check out) because of the shame they feel in selecting a book below grade level.</span></span> <br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>I am very offended and hurt that they think we would ever make our students feel shame for their reading level.
