2023-2024 Young Hoosier Book Award Nominees

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Collier-Schloemer's classroom raised $281

My Project

First begun in 1974, the Young Hoosier Book Award encourages Indiana students to read for fun. Since 1992, the Award has been divided into three categories based on grade level: kindergarten through third grade view picture books, fourth through sixth grade view intermediate, and sixth through eighth grade view middle grade books.

Each year, teachers, students, parents and media specialists submit suggestions to the Young Hoosier Book Award committee, who nominate twenty books in each category.

Students read the books on the list and vote for their favorites. Votes are then tallied and the winning illustrator and authors are presented the award in the spring of the following year.

At our school, students are encouraged to read and take a comprehension test over the books. Students receive points for passing tests and our school library rewards them with prizes. It is my wish to have all these titles in my classroom so my students can read and participate in the program.
