Description:
The goal of the
Reading Olympics is to increase students’
reading for enjoyment. Students collaborate with their teammates
to read forty to fifty books that have been selected by a
committee of librarians, reading specialists and classroom
teachers. These professionals read the books and write
questions, which teams of students answer during the
competition. The Olympics are primarily a celebration of reading
rather than a contest. All participants are awarded ribbons.
Since the teams generate much excitement about this event, the
experience is rewarding for everyone involved.
