In October we began to share the Grand Canyon Reader Award nominated books with our classes. The Grand Canyon Reader Award is a reader award
program for students in Arizona. Students vote annually on their favorite book
in the following categories: Picture, Non-Fiction, and Intermediate. There are
10 books in each category. The purpose of the Grand Canyon Reader Award is to
encourage young readers to become better acquainted with recently published
quality books and to honor favorite books and authors. Throughout the year we
will be sharing all 10 picture books with primary students. The intermediate
grades must read at least 3 of the 10 Intermediate books and 5 of the 10
non-fiction books to qualify to vote in those categories. Voting must be completed
by April 1, 2017. Here is the list of the nominated books: Picture Books
