The goal of the Reading Olympics is to increase students’ reading for enjoyment and increase reading skills. Students collaborate with their teammates to read forty to fifty books that have been selected by a committee of librarians, reading specialists and classroom teachers. MMR sends teams to both the elementary and middle school competitions. Several of our teachers serve as moderators/scorekeepers and team leaders. The Olympics are primarily a celebration of reading rather than a contest. Since the teams generate much excitement about this event, the experience is rewarding for everyone involved.
