A reading program for 5th Grade

What is the

Massachusetts Children’s Book Award (MCBA)?


  • It’s an optional reading challenge.

  • It’s a way to be part of a reading community that is centered around one common goal, to pick the best children's book in MA.

  • It’s a special program only open to Bridge 5th graders, sponsored by Salem State University.

  • It’s one of only a few state book award programs where only kids can vote for the winner!

  • Specific information for this year's program will be provided in the Fall
