• Since 1981, the VRC program has given students
  across Virginia exposure to the best of
  contemporary literature. The success of this
  program is important to the continued rise of
  literacy for the students of Virginia schools.
• Every school year, noteworthy titles from the
  past three years are reviewed by the Virginia
  State Reading Association. For each of four
  levelsPrimary, Elementary, Middle and High
  Schools ten titles are nominated.

These lists are then shared with Virginia
schools, where students can read these titles
throughout the year and vote for theirfavorites
each March. The reading lists for the upcoming
school year are released in the spring each year,
to give teachers and librarians time to secure
these books. While most educators choose to
participate in Virginia Readers Choice, finding
the easiest and most cost effective way to
purchase these titles for your school can be
challenging. While a number of vendors sell these
titles, Bookworm Central, at www.bookwormcentral.c
om, offers a 40 discount off Virginia Readers
Choice titles year round. Bookworm Central wants
to get Virginia Readers Choice titles into the
hands of students and will ship the books, or
have them available for pick-up after ordering at
their warehouse in Manassas, VA.
