The Red Clover Award promotes the reading and discussion of the best of contemporary picture books in nearly all of Vermont's elementary schools. Each year over 20,000 K-4 students read, or have read to them, the ten nominated books.
An educator resource guide contains program guidelines and activities. Many activities in the guide are based on the Vermont Framework of Standards and provide dynamic and thoughtful learning experiences for children. Extending the discussions and activities will help to address even more.
