Our school is using the Fountas and Pinnell's program for RTI. Our reading specialist had a room with all of the leveled books, but she retired this summer. The district needs the room for classroom space and my principal wants me and my staff to add all these books into the library ....there are thousands. I thought I just read on a thread that leveling all the books in the library wasn't recommended. Any thoughts?

Is the Librarian willing to specify a section of the library just for leveled books? You are correct -- you wouldn't level all of the books in a library. As readers, we do not choose reading material by level, rather by interest or need. But if the librarian could designate a section of the library for leveled books, the book room books could be transferred directly to it.

I am the librarian and yes I'm willing if I have the space. My principal indicated that he wanted me to add all the books into my library along with the ones already there....no separation....with the level letter on each book.
