For the third year, Incarnate Word 4th and 5th grade students will be participating in the Missouri State Mark Twain Award. 4th grade students are required to read 6 of the nominees and 5th grade are required to read 7. For each required book, students complete a reading strategy. This has been a very popular program with the students and has created a great deal of excitement about reading. The nominated titles are chosen primarily by students and the voting on the award winner is entirely by students. Voting takes place early March. The award winner is usually announced mid April. Below is a listing of the 2008 - 2009 Mark Twain Nominees | Author | Title | | Balliet, Blue | Wright 3 | | Blume, Lesley M. | Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters | | Bulion, Leslie | Uncharted Water | | Gutman, Dan | Million Dollar Putt | | Lord, Cynthia | Rules | | Nuzum, K.A. | A Small White Scar | | Park, Linda Sue | Archer's Quest | | Platt, Chris | Moonshadow | | Riordan, Rick | Sea of Monsters | | Ullman, Barb Bentler | Fairies of Nutfolk Wood | | Wait, Lea | Finest Kind | | Winthrop, Elizabeth | Counting on Grace |
