Fouth and Fifth Grade
Welcome to District 65’s reading program for Fourth and Fifth Graders - Bibliomania! This program has one purpose: letting our students read wonderful stories and give them the opportunity to express their learning.
Fourth and Fifth Grade students are encouraged to read from a carefully selected list of books.
There will be two lists. List A will run October - January and List B will run February - May.
Each list includes 8 books - 5 titles carefully chosen by the D65 Librarians and
3 books of choice from a list special to Lincolnwood.
The Evanston Public Library will have all Bibliomania on display at all branches.
Reading and Projects for List A are due at the end of January.
Reading and Projects for List B are due at the end of May.
Upon completion of reading a book, students are asked to produce a project to
show understanding of plot and characters. A list of possible projects is below.

Recognition and rewards will be aligned throughout the district.
We hope you join the journey of Bibliomania this year. If you have any further questions, please reach out to me directly!

Coretta Scott King Book Award

Third Grade
2023
Third Grade
Welcome to the Coretta Scott King Award Book Club 2023! This is an exciting way to bring diverse literature into the lives of our students. Students are asked to read from the list provided. The book club is for Third Grade students only.
All the titles are Coretta Scott King Award Book Club winners or honor books. The Coretta Scott King Award is given annually to outstanding African American authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults that demonstrate an appreciation of African American culture and universal human values. It was established in 1969.
The award commemorates the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and honors his wife, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, for her courage and determination to continue the work for peace and world brotherhood.
Book titles were chosen carefully, including books of varying authors and genres.
I hope this will be a shared and motivating experience for you and your child.
Although the responsibility is ultimately your child’s, I hope they will share these wonderful stories with you.
All books and e-books/audio will be available in our school library, through SORA, and at the Evanston Public Library.
Students are asked to complete a journal sheet to show their understanding of the story.
When all books are read and journal sheets are submitted by April 14, we will celebrate our successes with a pizza party!
Journal Sheets can be found HERE.
