What age group does the 2x2 Award target?

The 2x2 Award is designed specifically for young children, targeting the age group from 2 years old up to the end of 2nd grade. This focus ensures that the selected titles for the award align with the developmental stages and reading abilities typical of this age range. The award aims to encourage early literacy and promote the enjoyment of reading among preschoolers and early elementary students.

The other options extend beyond the appropriate range for this award, including younger ages or older grade levels that are not aligned with the intended audience. By emphasizing books that cater to children from ages 2 through 2nd grade, the 2x2 Award effectively supports and nurtures early learning and engagement with literature.
