Also, when working to level your classroom library and meet the needs of all your young readers, keep these tips and strategies in mind:

• The reading level of your classroom library expands to cover two to three years above and below grade level. (Here’s a handy link to book lists for every guided reading level.)
• Multiple copies of popular titles and text sets appear in your classroom library so multiple students can read these at the same time.
• A rich variety of genres is included in your classroom library so children are exposed to realistic fiction, historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction, biography and autobiography, stories, classics, myths and legends, picture books, reference, poetry, comic books and graphic novels, and more
