I mean the books used by new readers to facilitate print word recognition. The easy reader collection is difficult to browse. Not easy! There are as many leveling systems as there are publishers that use different letters, numbers, or colors depending on the series; sometimes a level 1 is harder than something marked as a level 2 or 3. This makes parents and new librarians confused when browsing the collection. How can we simplify things? I am looking to you for help! Give me some ideas of how your library treats the not-so-easy-to-browse easy reader collection. Help me (and maybe others) in future decision making by answering the following questions in the comments: Does your library separate materials in the easy reader section using a leveling system? How easy is it to browse the easy reader collection in your library?...https://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Easy-Readers-300x225.jpg
