Guidelines for the reading competition
The competition involves 4 teams (corresponding to 4 different classes, possibly of the same
level).
3 or 4 novels (or short stories) are chosen and read during a term. The novels are the same
for all the competing classes.
You can have 4 novels of the same linguistic level, or have different language levels if your
classes are mixed-ability classes.
Each class reads the different novels (or short stories), but you divide the class into groups
and each group reads one of the novels.
Questions and activities are prepared by teachers, all regarding the plot of the four novels.
This material is the material necessary for the competition.
