2024-2025 Great Kids Can Read Program
The Great Kids Can Read Program is run by the Greater Kansas City Association of School Librarians and is designed to promote reading by providing a nominee list of quality contemporary literature for students within a 2.8-4.8 reading range. There are 10 books on the nominee list and students must read at least 4 books to vote for his/her favorite. Voting will take place during library class the beginning of April. The author of the winning title will receive special recognition from the GKCASL.
Students who want to read all 10 books and complete an online book response form for each book will be invited to a pizza party with a guest author/illustrator in May. The book response form is located below. Students wanting only to vote, do not need to fill out the form.
