<p class=MsoNormal>Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing
contest. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's
book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There
are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II
for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three
winners (one from each competition level) will go on to compete nationally.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Librarians and teachers can download and print <b><span

and <b><span style='color:#CC0000'>stickers</span></b> to distribute to your
students and patrons. <b><span style='color:#CC0000'>Lesson plans</span></b>
and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to national language arts
and reading standards are available <b><span style='color:#C00000'><a
