WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE BOOKS

William Allen White Book Award

The William Allen White (WAW) book award is unique in that Kansas kids in the 3rd-8th grades get to vote on who the book winner will be (I don't even get to vote!). The book that gets the most votes from kids in Kansas is the winner! Our Earhart 3rd & 4th graders who have heard or read at least 2 books from this year's 3rd-5th grade book list will be able to vote in March for their favorite book.

Here are the 2011-12 Kansas William Allen White books for 3rd-5th grades:

  • 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass
  • Also Known as Harper by Ann Haywood Leal
  • The Boy Who Invented TV: The Story of Philo Farnsworth by Kathleen Krull
  • Extra Credit by Andrew Clements
  • Family Reminders by Julie Danneberg
  • Fortune's Magic Farm by Suzanne Selfors
  • The Grand Mosque of Paris: A Story of How Muslims Rescued Jews During the Holocaust by Karen Gray Ruelle & Deborah Durland DeSaix
  • Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

These books can be found at our school library or any public library. I have read every book on the list and really enjoyed all of them. I'm glad that I can't vote – I don't know how I would ever choose which one was my favorite!

Adobe Reader

This list shows all the computerized AR tests that are available to take at Amelia Earhart Elementary School.

Please feel free to find these books anywhere - public libraries, bookstores, bookshelves at home, etc. As long as a student has read the entire book by the same author, they can take the AR test at Earhart Elementary regardless of where they found the book. Please note that the student must read the entire book. Watching movies or only reading parts of the book do not count and will result in a lower AR test score.

To find out more about the Accelerated Reader program, go to the Advantage Learning website at www.advlearn.com.
