Read to Succeed Competition & Literacy Fair
When: Wednesday, May 20th
Tentatively scheduled for 5pm.
Where: Tonawanda City Library
333 Main St.
Tonawanda, NY
The Read to Succeed Competition is an agency-wide event similar to a science fair or other project exhibition. Projects will be displayed around the room and judges will make their way around to each project on a schedue during the course of the event. Coaches and teams would do well to appoint one or two representatives (just like with the table top display) to be ambassadors who can introduce their project and answer questions.
After judges ask questions and judge projects, the whole team will participate in a book quiz. Judges will ask the team a series of questions about their book and the total of correct answers will be added to their overall project score.
