Reading Olympics is a program designed to nurture a community of enthusiastic readers. In the Fall, 4th and 5th graders are invited to join Reading Olympics and are assigned to teams. Team members collectively read through the 45 books on the list, meeting during lunch to track their progress. In the Spring, teams across Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties gather at competitions to test their knowledge of the books they have read. Browse this year's list and enjoy!
