Reading Olympics

The goal of the Reading Olympics is to increase students’ reading for enjoyment and to increase their reading skills. Students collaborate with their teammates to read 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.

The program is open to all 5th & 6th grade students.
