Create a “KBA Shelf” or a designated location for each year’s current nominees.
KBA Shelf Use scanned and printed images of covers as shadows for easy reference, accessibility, and advertisement (even when the books are checked out).
Students can look on the same shelf all through the year, and year after year to always find a current KBA book!
Label KBA Nominees and Winners. Labeling each nominee and winner guarantees that the KBA information is always available, long after the year that the book is a nominee or winner.
Spine labels identify nominees. The Year, Grade Level, and colors can add information.
Read the K-2 Grade Nominees aloud to all library classes. • Use a “Visual Ballot” for K-2 Voting, a laminated page of covers, with erasable markers- enough for a class.
Present book talks for the Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, and/or Grades 9-12, with related information, such as author web sites presented, on bookmarks or handouts.
Bulletin Board Idea Provide a visual representation of each nominee to reference as you read aloud, present book talks, or when students vote.
Bulletin Board Idea Display the nominees throughout the year, and especially during special events such as Open Houses and Literacy Nights.
Add summaries of each title beside each scanned cover image.
Bulletin Board Idea Display the KBA Winners. And post next year’s lists.
Collaboration: • Encourage teachers to use the Master Lists to assign Summer Reading and Required Reading during the school year. • Work with the Special Education Department to purchase copies and/or Recorded Books to use with students during the summer then, put them in the library collection for circulation during the school year!
