I’ve been ROYGBIV organizing my shirts for years, but I couldn’t get behind doing it to books because then my series wouldn’t be together.

I started to consider doing just the kids books, but I had the same problem. And what about reading level?

Then I considered just doing one shelf of ROYGBIV kids’ books, and any book that has a series will not be on that shelf. So I tried it, and I’m happier already. The kids were also excited to read the “book rainbow”.

I also learned something else that I hadn’t noticed before. The beginning readers are color coded anyway! So arranging them by colors automatically organized them by level.
