Try asking parents to donate new books or books from their own shelves that their children have outgrown. Pictures books serve as fantastic mentor texts, allowing you to model reading and writing strategies.
After leveling the books, sort them by genre when you place them on the shelves. This allows students to be aware of genre choices when making their selections. It also allows for privacy, being able to first search by interest and then by level.
