No duplicate beginning letters allowed in here! The person with the most letters by the end of the week wins a great collection of bookmarks. In the event that multiple people have the same number of letters at the end of the race, we'll randomly choose between them.</p> <p><img src="http://incredibooks.com/wp-content/images/read-a-thon/bookmarkprize.jpg" /></p> <p>And the really good news is that you don't have to read separate books to enter the A+ Awards race! Your Read-a-Thon books will count! As long as they're read within the one week period this race is open they're fair game.</p> <p>The same general rules apply to both the Read-a-Thon and the A+ Awards, but in this race we're not going to let you count the title letters of books you read to your siblings. Sorry.</p> <p>But we'll be generous with the title letter rules.</p> <p>If the title begins with an article ("a", "an", or "the") you can either count the first letter as your alphabet letter, or skip it and go to the first letter of the next word.</p> <p>You don't have to go in alphabetical order. (I'm hearing sighs of relief all around)</p> <p>But! If you use the same beginning letter twice, you lose two points.</p> <p>For Example, you could read <em>The High King</em>, <em>Hamlet</em>, and <em>The Bellmaker</em>. If you count the "T" from the first one you score a "T", an "H", and a "B". Three points! But if a few days ago you entered "By The Banks of Plum Creek" you loose two points for duplicating a letter.</p> <p>To help keep any confusion down, please put which letters you're counting at the top of the post. We don't want to accidentally take away points!</p> <p>The A+ Award starts today and ends July 6th. Post the books you want to count in this thread, but don't forget to keep counting in the Read-a-Thon thread. Let's read through the alphabet! </p>
