Red Maple 2013
The Red Mapleā„¢ Awards reading program brings an excellent selection of recent Canadian books to the attention of Ontario's grade 7 & 8 students. Through participation in the Red Maple program students improve literacy comprehension skills, read genres they might not have chosen on their own, and develop a love of reading. It rewards them for reading by making them the judges in a province-wide literary contest and allows them some satisfaction that they could have a say in honouring an author with a very prestigous award. I challenge our grade 7 & 8's to read the books before I do, and if they can do it, I will buy them a pizza lunch...I'd love to eat my words!

Silver Birch/ Bonaventure Book Battle 2013
Out of all the books published in Canada each year, a committee nominates the top 10 fiction books for grades 3-6. This is the Silver Birch Program. Students are then asked to read a minimum of 5 of these books in order to earn a vote and therefore have a say in which author wins this very prestigious award. In addition, if students can read all 10 Silver Birch books,by voting day, April 26, I will buy them a pizza lunch - I hope I get to eat my words!

Also, new this year is our very own BONAVENTURE BOOK BATTLE where students are asked to read a minimum of 5 out of 10 digital books OR 5 out of 10 Non-Fiction books from our "Can Children Really Save the Earth"-themed books.
