American Association of School Librarians Invites Applications for Innovative Reading Projects
The American Association of School Librarians, a division of the American Library Association, is accepting applications from school librarians for its AASL Innovative Reading Grant program.
A single grant of $2,500 will be awarded to support the planning and implementation of a unique and innovative program that motivates and encourages reading among children, especially struggling readers.
Projects should promote the importance of reading and facilitate literacy development by supporting current reading research, practice, and policy. In addition, projects must be specifically designed for children (grades K-9) in the school library setting, encourage innovative ways to motivate and involve children in reading, and demonstrate potential to impact student learning.
Grant recipient may be invited to write an article that delineates their reading incentive project and demonstrate their successes, trials, and recommendations for improvement so that others may replicate the project.
See the AASL website for complete program guidelines and application procedures.
To be eligible, applicants must be AASL members.
DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 1, 2016
