melissa josef 20 years ago isn't exactly the dark ages! I'm a product of the 80's myself, and now changing careers just starting out as a school librarian. Fortunately for me, I look about 10 years younger than I actually am, but I do make a lot of jokes with my high school students about the "dark ages." :) Depending on what age group you are talking about (I'm...See More

Has anyone read The Shepher's Granddaughter?

by teacher-librarian

Feb 17, 2010

This book by Anne Laurel Carter has come to my attention. It presents a one sided view of the Palestinian conflict through the eyes of a 9 year old who wants to be like her grandfather, a shepherd. There has been quite a lot of worrisome press about the book, does it deserve a place in the junior high grades 6-9 school library or classroom library?...See More

Melissa Josef Why wouldn't you? It is rated for grades 5-8 and has a positive review from School Library Journal. Any school teacher librarian would put this book in the collection without hesitation. If you are concerned about it being "one-sided", then balance it by providing another book with an opposite viewpoint that has an equally solid review behind it. K...See More

Pamela Mould I had to check it out (being the biblioholic that I am) so I went to Amazon.com and read the pages it would allow access to. Now, I want to get the book so I can read more about the beach trip and other stories contained within. What about this book did you find compelling? What were some of the reactions for the students?

Encourage your contacts to host an AFSer in 2010

by Barbara Wills

Feb 21, 2010

I am sure that adding an AFS student to your schools would assist your students with learning a new culture and language. Naturally, encouraging them to go on an AFS exchange is even better. Contact [link removed].

A 3rd grade teacher came into library and ask which she should follow for the children in her class. Should she recommend books at their lexiles or that are on considered on their grade level. She also asked me why the two do not work out. How can a book with a have 3rd grade reading level and have a 5th graders lexile? I wasn't sure what to tell h...See More

I'd like to know too I'm interested in the answer too because my middle school child has a college level lexile score and we are having a hard time finding reading material that is challenging yet somewhat interesting for just fun reading. Most books liked by the middle school kids are at a lower reading level.
