Young Reader Choice Awards 2023-24: BC, Alberta, Ontario ... Other! Adults nominate, but KIDS CHOOSE THE WINNERS!

Canadian Young Reader Choice Awards, 2023-2024

What should I read next?  Hopefully Bastion students say this a lot.  Below are some great options.

These reading programs have adults nominating books, but kids and young adults reading them and choosing the winners - how exciting.  There are both French and English options.  BC's Red Cedar program (grade 4 & 5 [it's a grd 4-7 program]) I offer each year at Bastion due to our Parent Advisory Council's (PAC's) generous support.

- Forest of Reading, Ontario Library Association: a reading program intended for all Canadians (French component as well)

- Hackmatack (Atlantic Canada), French nominees as well

- Red Cedar (BC)
