Training and Library Consulting
Forthcoming

Carole Fiore is working on a new book for Neal-Schuman with an anticipated publication date of 2008.

Bridging the Gap: Books for Transitional Readers will help school librarians/media specialists and public librarians identify those books that will help students in second, third, and fourth grades make that important transition from a beginning reader to being a successful, independent reader. The move from beginning reader books to chapter books is essential to making children into lifelong readers. Tips on how to introduce these books to children and their parents, teachers, and caregivers will be included.

Please share your ten (10) favorite books for transitional readers with Carole. Include full bibliographic information for each book. If you have specific activities that you use with these books, please include that information, too. If you know of web sites that work to encourage these transitional readers to become lifelong readers, Carole would greatly appreciate knowing about these, too.
