The Philadelphia Reading Olympics is a new and innovative way to get children interested in becoming voracious readers. During these olympics, students collaborate with their teammates to read fifteen books that have been selected by a committee of reading specialists, librarians, and classroom teachers.
The most important thing is that the Reading Olympics is fun!
Our goals are:
to foster a love of reading
to teach cooperation and teamwork.
Celebrate your student's efforts, encourage them, model your love of reading, and demonstrate the power of teamwork.
