Elementary School Library: KIDS READ

What is KIDS READ?

KIDS READ  is a student-friendly literary competition in which students answer questions about children's books. There is a daily question for everyone in grades 1 through grade 5 and a weekly competition for students in grades 3 through 5. During the weekly competition students work in groups of 4 to answer the questions. The weekly competition takes place on Wednesday from 12:00 pm until 12:20 pm in room 201.
The purpose of KIDS READ is to foster a love of reading and to encourage young people to explore all genres of literature and enjoy a wide range of books written by authors around the world. The spirit of KIDS READ is to try and involve all students in this literary experience.
Questions come from nursery rhymes, picture books to classic children’s titles and contemporary titles, suitable for students aged 6-11 years. Although KIDS READ is a competitive activity, students will enjoy the group and individual journey and the joy of reading.
