Questions about the Summer Reading Assingments, followed by questions about the Reading Olympics Team .
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.Back to Top
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.Back to Top
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.Back to Top
