"Our library is a very exciting place. Many books are being read, and children are learning how to become independent library users. As librarian, I work hard to plan lessons that complement and support the classroom curriculum as well as teach basic library skills." -Libby Odom
Remember: set aside time for your child to read EVERY day.
The library at Routh Roach is always a busy place. Our students read like crazy. Accelerated Reader (AR) is an integral part of our library program. The goal of the program is to encourage students to read more books and to read better books. Many third and fourth grade bilingual students have started to transition into reading English books. From the librarian's standpoint, the program is a huge success. The students read many, many books, and the ten most popular according to AR quizzes are listed below:
1. Baby Brains
2. Very Hungry Caterpillar
3. Dogzilla
4. Preguntas Tontitas
5. Animales no se visten
6. Three Little Pigs
7. Boy, You're Amazing
8. Cuantas manchas tiene el leopardo?
9. Juan y los frijoles magicos
10. Tres cerditos
Students also read many books that aren't on the AR list at this time. One very popular genre is Graphic Novels. That is a fancy term for a comic book that has been made into a book. We have approximately 14,000 books and 12% of those are in Spanish. Spanish books account for 28% of the total circulations. To see a copy of Open Library Times, Click here.
