The KC3 Reading Program promotes reading by providing an annual Nominee List of quality books for third graders and for special education students at this reading level.

Selections are intended to introduce quality, contemporary literature to students. Students who have read. or have had read to them, at least four (4) titles from the master list will vote for his/her favorite. Ballots will be prepared for school librarians to distribute and collect from participating classrooms in March. The author of the winning title will receive special recognition.
