Interest levels reflect a title's combination of ability and appeal for young readers as suggested by the RCYRBA Steering Committee. With each annual list participants should evaluate, purchase and promote only those books which they determine appropriate for their students and the grade levels served. Be reminded, to participate in the program you need only offer 12 of the titles. |

Rebecca Caudill Club 2012
The Rebecca Caudill reading program for 2012 ended on February 10. Benjamin had a total of 33 "members" (students who read at least 3 of the 20 books on this year's list), which is approximately 10 percent of the student population. One 8th grade student actually read all 20 titles! Our Caudill celebratory lunch took place on Friday, February 24, at which time the participating students voted for their favorite book (these votes will be submitted to the state organizers, andhe overall state winning title will be announced around the middle of March). The top three vote getters here at Benjamin were: #1 Powerless; #2 The Magic Thief, and #3 Peak. There was food, fun, a trivia game and prizes for the participants. In addition to the luncheon, any Caudill Club students who read the book The Magic Thief by Sarah Prinneas were invited to participate in a skype with the author later that same day.
