Red Dot Book Award 2017-18

The Red Dot student choice book awards is an annual event organized by international school librarians (ISLN) in Singapore.

From January through to May we will be focusing on this important literary event and many library activities around it in order to leverage the opportunities it provides to promote reading.

Criteria choosing books:

• Mix of genres, e.g., fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic format
• Balance of boy/girl main characters
• Balance of nationalities
• Published (in English) within the last 4 years
• Preferably only #1 if in a series
• Preferably no repeat of an author from previous years
• Preferably books that encourage Text-Text, Text-Self, and/or Text-World connections for students (i.e., books worth talking about)

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for our long-list.
