Spring+Challenge

**When: April 5, 2018** **Time: 3:30 PM - 6:30 PM** **Where: Easton HS**
 * Spring Challenge Reading Competition **

The purpose of this event is to encourage children to read more than they currently do, to read a greater variety of books, and to enjoy the excitement of reading and talking about books. The team format encourages students to share the challenge of reading the selection of books with their friends.

The reading competition is the culmination of the program that has teams of students reading books from a prepared list for several months prior to the final event. Each team consists of 8 to 15 students who agree to read from groups of 45 books appropriate for their age and reading level. The book lists are prepared the previous year by interested teachers and librarians. Middle School Reading Competition List High School Reading Competition List

During the competition evening, all teams participate in three rounds of questioning. Teams are never eliminated. At the culmination of the event, all students receive a ribbon, determined by the number of points their team earned during the evening. Prizes will be autographed copies of selected titles from the booklist. Link to the Bucks County IU website for reading lists For more information contact Deb Sofaro at sofferad@eastoned.org
