Wow! What an exhilarating contest, full of surprise, drama, and most of all, suspense. It is one of the most intense and competitive competitions in the whole school year and its name is ‘the readers cup’.

Readers Cup is a great way to get pulled into books. You become a better reader since you work hard to reread and then talk about them. By listening to other people, you can discuss, and even argue, different ideas from the books which helps you understand them more deeply.

Over 5 months of preparation go into a one hour-long game. A game between 2 teams from TK, and 2 teams from Lakeside. Even though our teachers had intended this quiz to be a challenge, all teams breezed through it, with little, or even no struggle! This year Lakeside were winners, but as this is an annual thing, next year, TK will be looking to win the cup back, while Lakeside will want to hold on to it!

Kids who are interested in participating in the Readers Cup need to be committed and enthusiastic. Curiosity and brains help because you need to think quickly. It is a great way

to explore new books, meet new friends, play games and have fun! Also, winning teams earned a 3-month membership from our sponsor ‘Epic Books’, check them out at www.getepic.com. Visit your librarians if you want a chance to participate next year.
