Step Two: Practice & Games

  1. Try this game to see if you can figure out how books are shelved.

2. Walk to the Fiction and Everybody shelves.

  1. Find the little alphabet letter signs on the shelves. See how the call letters on the spine label match with the letter on the little sign.

  2. Find the even littler labels taped to the edge of some of the shelves. Can you figure out what these letters mean? (Ex. LOW-LUZ)

3. Walk over to the nonfiction posters on the wall. Look them over.

See if you can find all the Dewey Decimal Classification sections.

Look at the spine labels on books. Do they match the classification number?

4. Game time practice! Get a Dewey Chart and use it to play...
