Written by Laura Bencosme and Alexandra de Camps
It’s that time of the year again, where children submerge into books, eager to see who the winners of this year’s reading contest will be. The Reading Contest this year will be happening from October 1st through October 22nd. The Reading Contest has been a long-held tradition in our school community, which provokes excitement for all elementary students from 1st to 6th grade, all of them eager to read as much as they can. The Reading Contest enhances reading skills, expands children’s vocabulary and develops their critical thinking. Ms. Hermida, the head behind the reading contest, continuously encourages students of all ages to participate, and become active member of our school library.
We interviewed students from 1B, to capture their thoughts on the Contest, as well as on Reading in General.
