Life Skills: Using The Library – Dewey Decimal System

Personally, Dewey

Make the connection between shelving according to author's surname in both fiction and nonfiction sections by having students search for books using the first three letters of their own surnames. For younger students, just use the first letter.

Make it a team/table competition and assign points for first, second, third letters (bonus points for three letters, of course!).
