The American Library Association’s
Youth Media Awards are less than 3 weeks
away. I can’t wait to find who the winners will be, can you? 

As a nonfiction
lover, the Robert F.
Sibert Informational Book Medal is my
favorite award of all. And that’s why I started the Sibert Smackdown five years
ago. It’s a fun activity for students in grades 3-8. And there’s still time for
you and your students to participate. 

Check out this
post for all the details,
including my list of recommended titles. I hope you’ll join us.

Please use the
Twitter hashtag #SibertSmackdown to share what you and your students are doing.
