Procedures

The Spirit of Texas Reading Program-High School is intended for recreational reading, not to support a specific curriculum.

Each featured author has had at least one book favorably reviewed for grades 6-12 in a professional review source.

Collection Development Statement
The Spirit of Texas (SPOT) Reading List is not designed to support any particular curriculum. Librarians are not required or expected to purchase every book on the list.
