Lesson Procedure:

As students enter the library they will each stop at the circulation desk to have their book checked in by the librarian. Students will then place their returned book on the cart across from the desk. Students will then be directed to find a seat on the first or second step in the library’s story corner.

Using the Title poster and the pocket chart, review the parts of a book studied so far: front cover & title. Show students the book Library Lil. Ask them to ‘turn and talk’ and tell someone what they think the story might be about. Ask for volunteers to share some of their partner’s responses. While reading, the story, stop and ask students what they think about the librarian and how she influences those around her. (She promotes reading to those around her). Ask questions and lead students to understand the role of a librarian – to help students find and choose good books to read for fun and for practice.

Show students the ‘3 Sounds’ sign. Ask for volunteers to explain each sound. Explain each sound if necessary.

Distribute clipboards, activity sheets and crayons. Begin circulation procedures.
