Bluebonnet Reading ProgramContributed on July 12, 2011 01:13 PM

The Texas Bluebonnet Award is designed to encourage students in grades 3-5 to explore a variety of current books and to identify their favorite book through the voting process.
Each year a list of books are designated as the Bluebonnet books and are read if students choose to participate in the program. For each book a student reads, they fill out a form recording the title and visit with Mrs. Cooper about their favorite part of the book. After reading five books from the list, the student will qualify to vote for their favorite book the last week in January. Student votes are sent to Austin to be calculated with votes from across the state. The book with the most votes is declared the Texas student choice book award for the year. Students who read 10 or more of the bluebonnet nominees will be invited to a Bluebonnet celebration given in February. If a student completes 17 books from the list, they will receive a $5.00 gift certificate to use at our PTA Book Fair held in the spring.
