 FRA
Children's Book Award
The Florida Reading Association invites students in
Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 2 to participate in the Children's Book Award
program. This program encourages exposure to recent quality literature and
involves children in giving recognition to their favorite book on the list.
Book Selection
Each year a committee selects eight titles from the
nominated books. The books selected must have been copyrighted within the last
five years and be currently in print. Care has been taken to choose both fiction
and nonfiction. Nominations for books to be considered for the next school year
are due by December 15.
Award Procedure
Once students have heard at least five of the eight
Children's Book Award titles, they are eligible to vote. Votes are to be sent to
the Children's Book Award chairman by
downloading a form to print and fax or
can
done
electronically online. Ballots must be received no later than April
15. The winning books will be posted on the FRA website (www.flreads.org)
by May 1st.
Registration
Schools are asked to submit a completed form indicating
their intent to participate between September 1 and December 17. Packets
of ideas and other free materials will be sent to registered schools beginning
in early November. Those schools registering after December 17th will be welcome
to vote, but are not guaranteed a complete packet.
