Whether creating elementary school books, secondary school yearbooks

or publications that include grades pre-K through twelfth grade, coverage is

the key to improved book sales. Letting parents know that their children are

in the yearbook is a great way to encourage them to buy the book.

Staffs who cover events involving children and teens have some of the

best photo opportunities for yearbooks. Older students working with younger

children show contrast in age and become excellent storytelling moments.

Methods of organizing a pre-K through twelfth grade book vary from

school to school. Some staffs blend all grades together in traditional sections,

i.e., student life, sports, organizations, academics and people. Other staffs set

aside pages for elementary activities, middle school interests and high school

events in separate sections. Either methods works well, so long as readers

understand where to find specific events, groups and people.

Elementary and middle school staffs often blend coverage into three

sections: academics and organizations, sports competitions and student life,

and people. Blending sections together saves pages for improved coverage

opportunities.

Unity through designUsing triangles ang tilted photos, design-ers reflect the look of the cover, providing a unified look for readers.

Each individual class is featured on an introductory spread followed by a portrait spread. For all-school projects, designers include photos of students in grades pre-k through 12, showing how they participated.
