K-6 teacher-librarians may be interested in the resources available to support my newly published book, //Collaborative Strategies for Teaching// //Reading Comprehension// (ALA Editions, 2007).

ALA Editions hosts a Web page with all of the graphic organizers, rubrics, and sample student work that teacher-librarians need to coteach 21 reading comprehension strategy lessons with classroom teacher colleagues: [|ALA Editions Web Site Support]

Teacher-librarians from around the country are field testing the lessons. As they complete their work, I am adding photos, more sample student work, new ideas for lesson extensions, and much more on my personal Web space at: [|Judi's Web Site Support]

Elementary Library Routines Wiki This wiki was born from a short Twitter conversation and the admiration of the work of Harry Wong.

[|Elementary Librarian] is a website for Elementary Librarians. Here you can find a yearly curriculum map and lesson plans that incorporate Common Core and AASL standards. Added July 2012.
