Teacher Guide & Tips
- Print the labels on cardstock, cut along the dotted lines, and laminate them so they hold up through the year.
- Tape or clip each label to the front of a plastic bin or basket, then sort fiction titles into the matching bins so students can find books independently.
- Discussion question: How do you know which bin a book belongs in, and what clues on the cover or back help you decide?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pair the labels with picture cues or a simple sorting activity where students match book covers to the correct bin.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them create their own genre labels, such as mystery or fantasy, and justify how they would sort a mixed pile of books.
- Estimated time: About 10 minutes to print and cut, plus 15 to 20 minutes for students to help sort the books.
