- How Teachers Can Guide Library Book Selection to Maximize the Value of Independent Reading Time Weber, Sherri Teacher Role Reading Material Selection School Libraries Librarian Teacher Cooperation Program Effectiveness Elementary Schools Recreational Reading Grade 4 Student Attitudes Comparative Analysis Student Surveys This article shares a classroom application to support literacy development through a teacher-guided library selection program. Twenty students participated in the program which demonstrated the importance of the relationship between the school librarian and classroom teacher. These professionals worked together to guide students to choose library books at their recreational level for independent reading time. The effectiveness of this program was demonstrated by comparing the results for students who participated in the program with similar students who did not participate. Students who were in the teacher-guided library selection program showed higher running record scores and greater confidence in their reading than students who were not guided during their library time to choose appropriate books. Suggestions for teachers are discussed.
