The Flint Hill Readers’ Choice program is designed for individual reading and reporting by students in grades 3-6.
Students in first and second grades will hear all of the primary books, either during library classes or in their classrooms and will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite book in March.
The Library staff, in conjunction with our reading teacher, has compiled our own list this year, which is slightly different from the Virginia Readers’ Choice list that we usually use. However, if your child wishes to read from the official list, it may be accessed at www.vsra.org. These books will also count.
Please be advised that even if a child is able to read books from the middle school list, the themes and language may be too mature for young readers.
