About the Truman Readers Award
Age Level
The winner of the annual Truman Readers Award is selected by students in grades six through eight.
Vision
The Truman Readers Award encourages students in the early teen years to express their unique voice through exploring new literary genres, communicating with their peers about young adult literature, and honoring authors writing for young teens.
Who May Vote
Missouri students in grades nine through twelve are eligible to vote for their favorite book if they have read at least THREE of the titles on the current master list.
Voting
In March, students will vote for the book they liked best. Schools will design their own ballots and each student will get one vote.
My children are homeschooled, can they vote?
Yes, contact the librarian at your local school.
