Lerner Interactive Books are amazing for tons of reasons, but here are the top two: 1. They help readers of all levels improve their literacy skills. 2. Readers are exposed to engaging and educational Lerner content! You may be aware of our iBooks, but are you aware of all of the great content they feature? This week’s spotlight is shining on the Library Smarts series.
An exploration of library skills, functions, manners, identifying basic parts of books, and understanding what we can use a library for as well as the basic parts of content, books, and the creators of those materials. This series covers the most basic of skills initially taught by media specialists who are just introducing young learners to the library and to library materials. The series’ goal is to help students navigate the information ocean in which they’ve just begun to swim. Areas of coverage include knowing how to find and use the library media center, what can be found at a library, who a librarian is and how he or she helps, library manners, identifying different types of materials, and how to properly handle those materials, whether checking out a book or an e-reader!
