Three Stars Book Award 2020 Voting
We hope that you are safe and well during this time. While circumstances have changed the typical timeline of choosing the top Three Stars Book Award titles, we still want to promote and engage readers in these important stories. You will find videos recorded by DC Public Schools librarians for each of the sixteen titles in the “Young Readers” category of this award competition in the Three Stars Book Award 2020 Read Alouds tab.
For those not familiar with DC’s annual “Three Star Book Award” initiative, it is a student-choice award that aims to develop literacy and lifelong reading habits by encouraging students to read outstanding, contemporary literature. The nominated titles work to broaden the human experience and often include multicultural characters and represent both fiction and nonfiction topics.
After reading the titles in each of the categories, we encourage each student to vote on their favorite title by clicking on the category links below. We will post the winning titles on the web site by Friday, June 19th.
