Just Right Books
To help keep kids’ in seats instead of moving back and forth to picking out books during their self-selected reading time (or independent reading time), book baggies help. Often, teachers will have their students place books that are at their level or are ‘just-right’ books into the baggies. Some teachers will include nonfiction books, magazines, fiction books, picture books, even chapter books.

Interesting idea.
Books are so important especially when we’re young. There were books all around me when I was little and they were read to me and I was encouraged by the whole family when I first started reading! I so enjoy reading now!
