]]> Voting is Open for the Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards https://www.heisereads.com/voting-is-open-for-childrens-teen/ Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:22:00 +0000 One of the things I loved most about teaching was sharing books with students and hearing their opinions on them when they finished. Especially in middle school, those kids won’t hesitate to tell you their honest opinions! I particularly loved when they were enthusiastically emphatic one way or the other.

A great way to have your students participate more widely in sharing their thoughts about books is through the Children’s Book Council’s book awards. Voting happens from now through the Children’s Book Week celebration the first week in May.

I’m honored this year to be one of the Children’s Book Week Champions, so I’ll be posting information weekly leading up to the big celebration for the 98th annual CBW.

Voting for the 10th Annual Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards is taking place NOW until May 7th. You can check out the 2017 finalists here, and vote at everychildareader.net/vote. And, the Every Child a Reader Instagram will have daily features on finalists in every category to help you make your choice.

Good luck in making your selections, and Happy Reading!!
