Question #1 (blank)

Tests on the summer reading begin on Nov. 17.  The delay was 
caused by the impasse of the budget in Harrisburg which held up 
the Act 90 orders for our school.  Students are coming to the 
library with their math teacher.  The test consists of 10 
randomly selected questions and students must get 7 of the 10 
questions correct to pass the test.  If a student fails on the 
first attempt, he or she may come back one more time to try to 
test on that book again.  If a student fails the second attempt, 
they must choose another book from the reading list and pass the 
test on the new selection.  Additional tests will have to be 
taken on the student's own time -- usually during lunch periods.  
To see when you are scheduled to take the test, consult the 
Special Events Icon.  Any senior who is not currently enrolled in 
a math class must come during their lunch period to take the test.

Regarding the summer reading, what books may I read?

There is a list of books for summer reading test option on this 
website on the page labeled Summer Reading List 2009.  The book 
discussions sponsored by the reading olympics 
team are only one section of the list.  To participate in our 
book discussions, you must choose a title from the 2010 Reading 
Olympics list.  The discussion option closed in August, 2009.

Do I have to be on the Reading Olympics Team to join your discussions?

No, they are open to all students.  However, because of the 
popularity of some titles, some of the discussion groups will be 
limiting the size of their membership to a managable number.

How do I go about participating in the Reading Olympics Summer Reading discussion groups?

You may send an e-mail to the librarian at libraryabw@yahoo.com  
Please indicate your name, student number, and the book you want 
to discuss in that e-mail.  You will receive an invitation via 
email inviting you to join the ning.  Please answer the necessary 
questions.  Once you are a member of the ning, you join the group 
for the book you have chosen.

Are there any special requirements to participate in the Reading Olympics team?

Every member of the team is expected to read a minimum of two 
books, and 
submit possible questions for those books to the library.  
Members also moderate one of the summer reading book discussion 
groups.

Will Reading Olympics conflict with my other practices?

No, because you read on your own time.  Our meetings will happen 
only during 
homeroom a few weeks before the competition.

How many nights or weekends do we meet?

There is only the night of the competition which will be sometime 
in April.  
As soon as the date is known, it will be posted here.
