Royal Reader Contest

Librarian, Ms. Winter

     The incredible Royal Reader contest lasts for about 6 weeks and ends in March. In this small amount of time students have the opportunity to read up to nine books, a goal that many reach. For this contest to take place Librarians around the country over the past year read an amazing 300-400 books to determine which would be included in the contest (that's more than one book a day)! They selected the best 12 works at four age levels for kids to read. The age levels were primary, intermediate, middle school, and high school. Our students read the intermediate through high school books.

     Students at Kerr have a chance to determine the top books among the twelve. When they complete a minimum of six of the books they are allowed to vote on their top choices. The students who read at least seven books also get a gift certificate for from Borders Book Stores. Eight books earn them a larger gift certificate while readers of all nine receive the top gift certificate. All Kerr students who complete at least two books are invited to a scrumptious breakfast.

The 2003 Royal Reader Contest Winning Books are:
