Reading Opportunities

Golden Archer Award: (for students entering grades PK - Grade 8) Students read five books on the list of books nominated by students across the state. After reading the five books, students vote for the award winner based on the following criteria:

Children are asked to select a "best book" with these criteria:
1. Characters you never forget.
2. Plot that is so exciting it keeps you reading to the very end.
3. Place described so beautifully that you feel as if you are there.
4. Theme so important that it makes you live the book as you read.
5. Style: a story told so well that the book sings on in your mind .

All district schools will participate in the voting process during the 23-24 school year.

This award is unique in that books are nominated and selected by students. Students entering PK - Grade 2 in fall of 23-24 read the primary list. Students entering grades 3 - 5 read the intermediate list. Students entering grades 6 - 8 read the middle school list.
