Using a team format, the Reading Olympics program is designed to give students the chance to share with their friends and other voracious readers the challenge of growing the quantity of books they read as well as increasing their exposure to a variety of writing styles and topics.  Team members will read books from a prepared list, then discuss their interpretations and comprehension of what they have read.  The Reading Olympics program culminates in a special evening celebration where teams from across the county get to participate in questions about what they’ve read, and all participants receive a ribbon.
