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.
