Groups choose one category from the shortlists to read, discuss and reflect upon, and then create a creative response to each book in the category and vote on their favourites.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 Shadow Judging Book of the Year Awards winners are decided by the kids&#8217; votes, and will be announced as part of the awards rollout on August 16, putting the thoughts of young readers right into the mix in deciding the best books of the year.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s such a great initiative to encourage young readers to engage critically and creatively with the shortlisted titles.<\/p>\n<p>One of the stated benefits of the Shadow Judging program is to &#8216;support the development of reading breadth, depth and a sense that reading is a cultural practice where opinions are shared in a supportive reading community&#8217; and I am here for that!<\/p>\n<p>So, when I was asked by one of the four schools, in particular, to bring my top tips for literary judging, I took my role very seriously and reached out to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourkidsnextread.com.au\/podcast\/\"><strong>Your Kid&#8217;s Next Read podcast co-host Megan Daley<\/strong><\/a> to provide tips from someone who&#8217;s experienced and respected in the field.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Megan Daley&#8217;s top five tips for literary judges<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/About-P-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-82348\" src=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/About-P-copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Megan Daley's tips for literary judges\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/About-P-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/About-P-copy-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/About-P-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/About-P-copy.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><strong><em>As well as being my partner in Quality Waffle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.megandaley.com.au\/about-megan-daley\/\">Megan Daley<\/a> is a Teacher Librarian and has been awarded the ASLA Australian Teacher Librarian of the Year 2023 and the SLAQ Queensland Teacher Librarian of the Year, as well as the national Dromkeen Librarians Award. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>She is the author of the bestselling book \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SAjdcF\">Raising Readers<\/a>\u2019 as well as \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qbd.com.au\/teacher-teacher-an-anthology-about-inspirational-educators\/various\/9781922930354\/\">Teacher, Teacher<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qbd.com.au\/the-beehive\/megan-daley-max-hamilton\/9781760655228\/\">The Beehive<\/a>\u2019.

It&#8217;s not about you<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is very easy to fall into the trap of being drawn to a book for an award because you like it. I have been guilty of this myself and I work very hard on this. Taking out personal opinion is tricky but to help, fall back on the criteria and read knowing that the book may not have been written with you as the target audience but that does not mean it is not worthy.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>2. Criteria, criteria, criteria<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>My day job is as a teacher and as a teacher and a mother of teens who are all doing assignments right now \u2013 always start and end judging (and assignment writing!) with the criteria. Read the judging criteria, highlight the criteria, unpack what the criteria is asking for and keep the cirteria close so that you can keep going back to it.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>3. Target audience<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Think about who a particular book was written for and does it meet the reading needs of that audience. If it is a picture book aimed at toddlers \u2013 will it engage them in all the right ways? If it is a picture book for a mature audience \u2013 will it make the reader work hard and think deeply? Do the illustrations and text work in unison?<\/p>\n<h5><strong>4. Wow factor<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>After having considered all of the points above look at whether a book has something extra special about it that elevates it above the rest? It may be something you cannot quite put your finger on, it may be a super original idea done in an engaging way, it may be astonishing interplay between text and images. If a book makes you go WOW, then that is a book to put on your own personal shortlist.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>5. Read every book<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Read every book in the mix for the judging \u2013 every single book needs to be given a chance and some books may surprise and delight you. Each book needs to be judged individually but do read all the books in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><b><a href=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/headerimagev2-01-1.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-82034\" src=\"https:\/\/allisontait.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/headerimagev2-01-1-150x150.webp\" alt=\"Your Kid's Next Read podcast\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Are you new here?
