Selection of Reading Materials

The district provides access to a wide variety of reading materials and resources in promoting literacy for students. In selecting the materials and resources for classroom libraries and media centers, teachers and media specialist follow the general procedures that may be found on the district webpage at http://www.horrycountyschools.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=743462&pageId=1199932 and media center and classroom library procedures that may be found at http://www.horrycountyschools.net/cms/One.aspx?portalId=743462&pageId=1392268. One of our schools primary goals is to develop lifelong learners, with literacy being a key component in this process. Reading a wide range of materials helps our students develop these literacy skills. While our schools classrooms and media centers make every effort to provide only the highest quality reading materials, we understand that parents want to help their children make a wise choice as it pertains to what their child reads. Parents who may have questions about their childs reading material may contact their school media specialist to request additional information regarding the title, including possible professional reviews of the title. The school media specialist will work collaboratively with parents to identify titles that will help develop a love of reading.
