GLOBAL READING CHALLENGE UPDATE!

The Global Reading Challenge is a cooperative effort between the King County Library System and local schools. This is a “Battle of the Books” style program that allows 4th and 5th graders across the county to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. The goal is to encourage students at all reading levels to engage in teamwork while reading some of the best in children’s literature. Challenge questions are based on specific and factual information within the books.

Our teams have been picked!  We are lucky enough to have four groups of participants.  The following are a list of the four teams:
