The Rebecca Caudill Program and Abraham Lincoln Program are sponsored by the Association of Illinois School Library Educators (AISLE). They are both Readers' Choice programs, which means that students who read at least 3 of the books by the end of February, are eligible to vote for their favorite.
Carthage Middle School teachers help promote the Rebecca Caudill program, and voting takes place at the Middle School. Home Schooled students should request a ballot at the Library in February. CMS also holds a Battle of the Book Contest each year.
Teams compete against each other to answer questions about the books on the list. 5th grade students can also participate in the Bluestem readers choice program. Those lists are on the Children & Families page.
High School Students! We would like to increase our participation in the Lincoln Award Program!! Be sure to let us know if you read the books so you can vote and we can submit our numbers to the state. Ditto for the Read for a Lifetime program.
