Book lists
Classic Book Reports
Each Quarter students are expected to read one book off of any of these lists and complete a book project demonstrating their comprehension of the book. The books on these lists are classics and award winning books, the purpose being to expose students to a wide range of notable books in preparation for high school, college, and beyond. Students may choose a book to read from any list here, some books are on multiple lists, explore them all they have a lot of GREAT books.
*Some books on these lists are picture books, and although they are worth reading, please be aware that they will not count towards student's page goals. "It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations—something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own." —Katherine Patterson |

Coretta Scott King AwardIn 1969, while attending the American Library Association Meeting in New Jersey, Mabel McKissick and Glyndon Greer, two school librarians, had a chance meeting at a booth when both were trying to get a poster of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was a time of great turmoil in the country. Both women loved children's literature and were discussing that African American authors and illustrators had not been distinguished with awards for their work. John Carroll, publisher at the booth where the two were vying for the poster, asked them why they didn't start an award to do so. From that seed of an idea, the Coretta Scott King Award was born.
