This week the 6th graders will select a Rebecca Caudill book to read for their next book report. After reading three Caudill books, students will vote on the book they think should win the 2012 Rebecca Caudill Award. Here are some details about the Award:
The Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award is an annual award given to the author of the book voted most outstanding by students in grades four through eight in participating Illinois schools.
The award is named in honor of Rebecca Caudill who lived and wrote in Urbana, Illinois, for nearly 50 years. The award is given in recognition for her literary talent and the universal appeal of her books which have touched the hearts of many children and young adults.
Any school in Illinois with students enrolled in grades four through eight, may participate in the program. Some of books chosen for this year's voting are: The Magic Thief, Masterpiece, Extra Credit, Flygirl, Greetings from Nowhere, and Peak.
