# West Virginia Children's Choice Book Award reading list

**9** books referenced by West Virginia Children's Choice Book Award, a reading-program curriculum framework spanning applicable K-12 grade levels.

The West Virginia Children's Choice Book Award is West Virginia's statewide reading program for students in grades 3-6, established in 1981 by teachers Joyce Lang and Patty Benedum. Children across West Virginia read from an annual master list and vote each year for their favorite title — the award is based solely on the children's votes. Since 2007 it has been hosted by the West Virginia Center for the Book at the West Virginia Library Commission in Charleston, and its winners are read in West Virginia classrooms and libraries statewide.
