The
library implements strategies to help students in all grade levels
with reading comprehension, summarization, prediction, and recalling
facts. The library program also addresses the study of genres with
specific examples read aloud to classes. Thesse strategies are accomplished
by reading Bluebonnet and Mockingbird books as well as specific
books selected to enrich whatever unit of study classes are currently
engaged in.
There
will be multiple lessons on the use of databases available to students
in the MISD Library catalog.Each student will have the opportunity
to explore NetTrekker, the library catalog itself, World Book Online,
and Infotrac's Power Search. Students will have their own laptop
in the library for research and implementation of their findings
through graphic organizers and written reports.
