- What is the KBA? Each year about 10 books for grades 6-8 are
nominated by Teachers and Library Media Specialists across the
state. The selected books are chosen carefully to ensure a wide
variety of topics and genres to appeal to middle school students.
Students at each school vote for their favorites and the results
are sent to the Kentucky Reading Association by April 1 st. The
state-wide winner is then chosen.
