My Sears is so out of date it is embarrassing, but with all the financial cutbacks since I started in the library, I haven't had the heart to ask for such an expensive book even if it does make my job more difficult.Dsrtroseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371071365378190249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626478366598140547.post-75045517817770430772012-10-01T17:09:27.410-04:002012-10-01T17:09:27.410-04:00Great question, Kathryn.

I learned after the first month that I needed to establish a rule that shaking a book or flipping through pages to find a symbol was basically cheating and that if you cheat, you don't get to participate. I point out that looking a the first page or reading the description on the back of the book to get a feel for the book is very different than flipping through the whole book and is easily spotted. I also said that if there got to be a big problem with students "cheating" that the secret symbol program would have to end for everyone. The students took to policing themselves after that and I haven't had a problem since. Hope that helps.Jo, aka, The Book Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470098447262556298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626478366598140547.post-7503728768266257312012-09-28T21:07:04.164-04:002012-09-28T21:07:04.164-04:00In using the genre of the month how do you keep th...In using the genre of the month how do you keep the children from searching for secret symbols through the books?
