What has worked for my first graders is shopping once each week. My students sit at tables and each table shops on a different day of the week. The only time it changes is if we have a day off, then two tables shop on the same day. I like this because it keeps the library less congested. I also believe that it helps my students to make good choices when choosing books. One week of having five books that are too easy or too hard will help teach them to check out some books that are a little closer to their just right level!
