Show-Me Readers Award

The Show Me Readers Award is a children's choice award sponsored by the Missouri Association of School Librarians.

PURPOSE: The Show Me Readers Award is to promote literature, literacy, and reading in Missouri elementary schools for grades one and two, and to promote recognition of authors and illustrators of books that are favorites of Missouri children in these grades.

KC-3 Reading Award

The KC3 Reading program is sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Association of School Librarians. It promotes reading by providing an annual recommended list of quality books for third graders and for special education students of this reading level. Selections are intended to bridge the gap between picture books and chapter books.

Mark Twain Award

The Mark Twain Award is selected by students in grades four through eight and presented annually to a living United States author. Nominations of titles of literary merit for the stated grade range to be considered for the award are invited.

PURPOSE: The Mark Twain Award is to provide the children of Missouri with their very own source to enrich their lives through reading. 

Accelerated Reader List

TITLE AUTHOR POINTS

There are now three ways to look for an AR book. You may search by title, author, and/or points. The list shows all AR books for which the school has the tests. The Gracemor Library does not have every book on the list. Many of them are available at the local public library.
