Shopping is fun, and that means that kids may spend their time shopping instead of reading. That's a problem! So we need to post a schedule for book shopping in our classroom.
Kids will shop when it is THEIR day to shop. They can shop first thing in the morning, after recess, before math, they will find the time. Worse case scenario, they will shop during Independent Reading time that day.
They will be able to select 3-5 books/magazines/articles that you have available in the classroom library. And voila- kids will always have material to read during Independent Reading/Reader's Workshop and you don't have to worry about kids shopping instead of reading.

Happy Shopping!
PS- If you haven't been in a bookstore or library lately... you need to go! It is good for a reader's soul!
