Students entering the reading program must each read a minimum of five books from the current master list before they can vote for their favorite title. Teachers and parents are urged to build interest by reading some of the books aloud. The author of the book receiving the most votes statewide is declared the winner of the Texas Bluebonnet Award and is honored at the TLA annual conference. Students are eligible to vote if
