THE CAUDILLS ARE COMING!

It's time once again to introduce the 6th grade to the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award and the 20 nominees for 2014. On Friday, December 13th, the 6th grade ELA classes will come to the IMC for a presentation including how the Caudill program works, a book talk of the nominees, and how to make your own reserves online. Having just finished reading all 20 nominees, I have to say that this is another list of great books. From fantasy to realistic fiction to historical fiction and a few nonfiction titles as well, there is something for everyone. In order to be eligible to vote in this statewide program, 6th grade students will choose books for their next three book reports from the 2014 Caudill nominee list. They will also take an online quiz for each book report. The Master List of nominees can be found at http://www.rcyrba.org/pdf/2014%20MasterList.pdf
