Rebecca Caudill Award
Reported by natalie_hoyle@ipsd.org on 10/21/09
Are your kids looking for good books to read?
Spring Brook’s 4th and 5th graders have the option to participate in a kids choice book award known as the Rebecca Caudill Award.
Students who are interested in voting for the annual Rebecca Caudill Award will read at least 3 titles on the list for 2010. Many of the books are available in the Spring Brook LMC. Of course, these titles are always available at the public library or favorite bookstore.
Last month Miss Hoyle booktalked all the Caudill titles that the LMC owns to familiarize students with this year’s titles and already the books are flying off the shelves by eager readers that can’t wait to dive into the Caudill titles.
For more information on the Rebecca Caudill program for students in grades 4-8 and annotations of each title, you can visit www.rebeccacaudill.org.
Voting in the LMC takes place annually in February. We will announce the school’s winner. Then Spring Brook student votes will be sent into the Rebecca Caudill state committee to be counted. The state’s decision will be announced in March.
To help motivate students, they have made personal and school goals. When an individual student reads a title, they put a paw up to represent which book they have read. With some of the popular titles, we have already filled up over half the bulletin board with paw prints!
A special thank you to LMC volunteers for helping create the festive board.
Happy Reading!
Miss Hoyle
LMC Director
