Children will be broken up by age group, and are provided with different reading lists for each grade level. They can read independently, or books may be read aloud to your child. Teams will be formed for this activity. The children will have an individual opportunity to take turns answering questions based on each book, and may consult their team if they need help. Your child is not required to read all the books to participate, but encouraged to try.
