Explore the World of Reading with Falmouth School's Exciting Reading Competitions

At Falmouth School, we believe in nurturing a love for reading that goes beyond the pages of textbooks. To encourage our students to embark on literary adventures, we host three captivating reading competitions that not only inspire a passion for books but also offer enticing rewards.

1. Alphabet Challenge: A Journey through Fiction

The Alphabet Challenge invites students to dive into the rich world of fiction by reading novels from authors whose names start with each letter of the alphabet. This engaging competition encourages participants to explore a diverse range of authors, genres, and storytelling styles. As students progress through the alphabet, they earn exciting prizes, creating a sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue their reading journey. The Library Lessons serve as a platform to share progress, creating a supportive community of fellow readers.

2. 'Read a Theme' Challenge: A Literary Adventure Across Genres

In the 'Read a Theme' Challenge, students embark on a literary adventure by exploring three books from different genres. Whether it's the captivating world of romance, the thrilling realms of adventure, or the light-hearted humor that tickles their fancy, participants get to experience the diverse tapestry of literature. Upon successful completion, students are rewarded with a free book of their choice, adding a personal touch to their reading collection.

3. Non-Fiction Challenge: Uncover the Wonders of the Real World

For those who have a keen interest in the real world, the Non-Fiction Challenge awaits.

These reading competitions are not just about winning prizes; they are about fostering a lifelong love for reading, expanding horizons, and building a community of enthusiastic readers. The challenges are designed to cater to different interests and preferences, ensuring that every student can find a competition that resonates with them.
