Easy Fiction What is easy fiction?

Fiction What is a fiction book?

Parts of a book:

 The CALL NUMBER is the “address” of the book. It tells us where the book is shelved in the library.  Why does it matter???  CALL NUMBERS are made up of two parts. What is a call number and why does it matter?

 Let’s say you are looking for the book “Things Not Seen” by Andrew Clements.  The first part of the call number is F. The F stands for fiction.  The second part of the call number is the first 3 letters of the author’s last name.  What is the call number for this book?  What is the call number for a book by Gary Paulson? Fiction Call Numbers

 Easy fiction books are also know as picture books in our library.  The call number is still in two parts.  The first part of the call number is E and, in our library, usually has a yellow label over the spine label.  If you are looking for the book, Olivia by Ian Falconer, what would be the call number? Easy Fiction Call Numbers

 How do we put Fiction and Easy Fiction in order on the shelf?  Think….how do we put letters in order?  We use ABC order to put letters in order. We use the same idea to put the call numbers in order.  If we have three books with these call numbers, what order will we put them? FFF PAUABBCLE  What about these? FFF COUCLOCOV

 All non-fictions books are shelved by a system called the “Dewey Decimal” System.  The Dewey Decimal system was developed many years ago to group non-fiction books.  It makes it easier for us to find books about a particular subject.  Non-Fiction books are shelved in number order first, then by the author. Non-fiction numbers start with 000 and go through  The call number has two parts: the number and the first three initials of the authors last name. Non-Fiction Call Numbers

So, lets say we want a book about planets. What Dewey decimal section would we look at? Use the chart below to help you.

 What is a biography?  In our library, we keep biographies in a separate area.  Biographies in our library have a special call number.  We use B (for biography) and the first three letters of the last name of the person the biography is about.  A book about George Washington would have a call number of - B Was.  What would the call number be for a book about Rosa Parks? Biographies

 Where can you find a book about the Sioux tribe?  What section of the library will you find a novel by Gary Paulson?  What section of the library will you find a book about weather?  What section of the library will you find a book about Thomas Edison?  Where can you find the book “Ralph S. Mouse”, by Beverly Cleary?  Where will you find the book, “A Perfect Nest” by Catherine Friend? Where will you find these books?

 Challenge yourself to read different types of books and try new authors.  Keep a log of the books you read, the minutes you read or the number of pages you have read.  Keep a notebook of all the new words you’ve learned, or of phrases that you liked.  Share a good book with a friend, or parent or teacher.  Read the book before you see the movie!  Draw a picture of your favorite part of a book, or rewrite the ending.  What are some other things you can do? Read and Enjoy! Ways to enjoy books even more
