Many provinces have a young reader's choice award. British Columbia's (BC's) is the Red Cedar Book Award. Thousands of students across BC from grades 4-7 read non-fiction and fiction book nominees and vote for their favourites.
The purpose of the program is threefold:
1. To enrich and broaden students’ reading experiences,
2. To promote literacy through the reading of quality Canadian literature
3. To encourage students’ thoughtful evaluation of these reading materials.
Voting takes place in Late April, and the award winners are announced in May. Students may read books in either the fiction or the non-fiction category (or both if they’re really avid readers!).
