4th-8th grades throughout Illinois read the Rebecca Caudill books and vote for their favorite in February. Students must read or listen to 3 of the 20 Caudill books to vote.
At Lincoln, we have a special program to encourage our 4th and 5th graders to read the Caudills. Throughout the library, there are pillars that have the names of each Caudill. When students finish a Caudill, they sign the pillar that has the title of the book they just finished. It's a wonderful way to show who has read the books and it makes the library so colorful!
This year students in grade 4 who read the 15 books we have at the Lincoln LRC will receive a fast pass for next year’s Caudills. Students with a fast pass will get first choice of the Caudills for next school year. Students must fill out the Caudill Reading form and it must be signed by a parent for students to be eligible. 5th grade students who complete the form will get to be a poster featuring their favorite book.
Here is the Caudill Reading Log.
