The Art of Book Shopping

Blog

At Success Academy, we believe that beautiful, well-organized classroom libraries help create a joyful culture of reading in schools. When teachers set up their classroom libraries in ways that are inviting and easy to navigate, then introduce clear systems and routines around book shopping, reading becomes a central part of the school day. When kids are given choices about what books they can read, and encouraged by their teachers to select stories that spark their curiosity, their love for reading authentically grows. When kids love reading, there’s no limit to what they can learn and accomplish. 

We are excited to focus our new module on book shopping. Over the next few weeks, we will release resources to help you revamp your library and strengthen your classroom’s reading culture.
