 Abington Senior High School Reading Olympics 2015-2016

 This year's competition will be held at Colonial Middle School on Thursday April 7, 2016

‍The goal of the Reading Olympics is to increase students' reading for enjoyment. Students collaborate with their teammates to read 45 books that have been selected by a committee of librarians, reading specialists and classroom teachers. The 45 books are chosen to include a wide variety of genres, cultural and historical experiences. These professionals read the books and write questions which teams of students answer during the competition. The Reading Olympics are primarily a celebration of reading rather than a contest. All participants are awarded ribbons. Since the teams generate much excitement about this event, the experience is rewarding for everyone involved.
