of common elementary school curricula.

WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY PATRICIA A. MESSNER
AND BRENDA S. COPELAND
Elementary school librarians today are working harder than ever, sometimes serving in two
or more libraries. Most have very little time to develop lesson plans, particularly the task
of relating them to standards. Elementary school librarians need materials aligned with
Common Core standards that are ready to go. Written by working school librarians with
44 years of combined experience, this instructional book is designed for use with primary
grade students and offers 37 library lessons that have been tested and refined in the
authors’ elementary school libraries.
The lessons are constructed with follow-up materials and recommended book lists
to encourage classroom teacher collaboration and continuation of the lesson. Each
lesson is accompanied by reproducible patterns and worksheets and includes complete
bibliographic information. Also included in each lesson are a description of the standards
applied, skills and objectives addressed, recommended grade levels, lists of props and
materials needed, a step-by-step lesson description, and follow-up activities.
FEATURES
• Provides lessons that are linked to national standards and appeal to teachers and
librarians needing to have weekly plans that identify the specific standards taught
• Supplies accompanying patterns and reproducible handouts
• Suggests fun follow-up activities and book titles appropriate for further instruction
