Reading Olympics Ballistic Bobcats - three hour event, 2 straight hours of questions and answers and finally scoring 55 points, getting Blue Ribbon - 1st place among other readers in the schools. ~
"The goal of the Reading Olympics is to increase students' reading for enjoyment and increase reading skills. 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."
