Reading Olympics: Sweden
Internationella Engelska skolan
I started a reading comprehension competition for year 6 students based on my own positive experiences in the Reading Olympics program in the Central Bucks school district. Teachers came up with a list of 10 level-appropriate books for students to read and prepared comprehension questions based on those books.
The competition gave students an opportunity to challenge themselves in terms of their reading, and their ability to work as a team to answer questions. It also gave students a chance to meet students from other parts of the country!
Teachers within the company run this competition annually to this day!
