"In every America's Choice elementary and middle school, a book is read to every student in the school each month. You will learn about the Book of the Month in a letter from the principal. Schools choose books that convey powerful messages about the importance of family, the need to respect others, or telling the truth. Students discuss each book in their classrooms. They write about the book, reacting to its story and relating it to their own lives." - from A Parent's Guide to America's Choice
