What is Reader's Cup?
Readers cup is a book quiz competition.
Students read a selection of books throughout the term and then, on a designated day, are asked a series of questions in a similar format to a trivia quiz.
Our College competes in the Gold Coast Catholic Primary Schools competition and the Children's Book Council - Queensland Branch competition.
What are Literature Circles?
Literature Circles are a reading activity held each year in a number of year levels. Students are able to choose a book from a given selection which they will read during a set time. Popular titles have included:
Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz
Painted Love Letters by Catherine Bateson
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
Ice Station by Matthew Reilly
Students discuss their books within groups and create items of work which complement their understanding of the novels.
