 * Welcome to the Winchester Public School's reading program for all 4th and 5th grade students!**

The elementary librarians, along with their teachers, encourage these students to read from a list of 25 different genres throughout the school year. In April, students should have at least 5 books read in order to vote for their favorite. The more they read, the better they can judge all the different writing styles.

Each year, the four elementary librarians tally the votes district wide to see what book has been selected as the BEST! Previous winners include: =2010 - //Swindle// by Gordon Korman= =2011 - //11 Birthdays// by Wendy Mass=

In addition, we hold a town-wide Battle of the Books in June and ask questions based on the WRR books to teams of 6 students from each school. The teams, made up of 3-4th graders and 3-5th graders each, get points for each correct answer and by the end of the "Battle" we declare a winner! The previous top scoring schools were:

=2010 - Lincoln= =2011 - Muraco=

Check out the following pages for the current reading list along with some interesting book-trailers (similar to a movie trailer, but for books!) that may inspire you!
