Teacher-librarians may choose to share all of the books with classes in the library, encouraging students to evaluate the stories and illustrations, and to identify their preferred title(s). Alternatively, the collection may be circulated to teachers who wish to conduct the program as part of Language Arts activities, or to individual students who wish to read the books independently.

Any student can participate in the program. It is usually geared towards K-4 students.

Yes, the Surrey School District purchases a set of the ten nominees for each school. These should arrive at your school over the summer.

Students need to have read or been read aloud 5 of the nominees in order to vote. You can organize the student vote in whatever way works best for your school. One idea is to have ten large envelopes, each labelled with a nominee book cover, and then have students put their one vote in the corresponding envelope. Please tally the votes for each book and then send via email – feltham_b@surreyschools.ca, via courier - attn:Barbara Feltham, Hazelgrove #203 or via fax – attn: Barbara Feltham 604 574 2760.
