Library Bin Labels for Fiction and Nonfiction

I am super excited to reorganize my classroom library by Fiction and Nonfiction.  
My book baskets are overflowing and are in need of reorganization.

In our Reader's Workshop we are starting our Nonfiction Unit of Study.  
It's the perfect time to have my firsties help me sort our classroom library by genre.  
I purchased a second set of baskets from the Dollar Store in a second color 
to help the children differentiate the bins by fiction and nonfiction.  

Our classroom librarians will help me maintain the baskets by genre and levels.  
I am so excited to get sorting!

However, if you don't have the classroom space or time to sort your books by Fiction and Nonfiction, I have also created a basic library bin label for your classroom!



 If you would like to purchase the complete set, visit my TPT store:

Classroom Leveled Library Bins

A leveled library is so important.  Your students WANT to read, they just need to find the Just Right Book!  Leveling your classroom library is such a daunting task, I know!  Just as I finished leveling my third grade library, the following year I was assigned to kindergarten and had to start all over again. But, in all honesty, once you get started, it is a worthwhile task, and you will see a huge difference in your readers!

These are the library labels I created for my kinders to use to find a Just Right Book. Of course, they will only be reading A-E, if that, but I made sure I had them created so the complete set was created.

If you would like to download these library labels for free, go to my age on Teachers Pay Teachers at: Classroom Library Book Bins by Reading Level








Want even more information on leveling your classroom library?

A great tool for leveling your library is the Scholastic Book Wizard, they have most common titles in their database.  This is a good start.  However, you will find that a great deal of the books in your classroom are from previous textbook series your school purchased.  These books are a valuable resource in your classroom, because they often come in sets.  Don't fret there are ways to find their levels too!  Other sites to try are:
Leveled Books Database at  A to Z

Reading A-Z has a great reading correlation chart that will provide you with the various leveling systems out there:
