CLEL Bell Award Short-lists for Books that Support Early Literacy

The CLEL Bell Awards are a new national award designed to recognize picture books that provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children.
On the shortlists are 25 titles: five books in each of five categories representing an early literacy practice: Read, Write, Sing, Talk, and Play. Research has shown that engaging children in these practices builds language skills and prepares children to become successful readers.


Winning titles, one from each category, will be announced on February 5, 2015.

The shortlists are:

Read:




Write:




Sing:




Talk:




Play:



To be eligible for the 2015 Bell Awards, a book must have been published for the first time in the United States between November 16, 2013 and November 15, 2014.
