The Central Mountain Middle School reading competition teams traveled to Bellwood-Antis School District to compete this school year. Every year, students read books from a chosen list and then answer questions about them. When students complete a book, they will then take a comprehension quiz on it.
Sapna Yadalla (6th grade) and Abbey Wolfe (7th grade) read and passed a quiz on all 30 of the books on the list. There were three teams.
Team A, The Frindle-icious Faces on the Bookmark, took 1st place with 48 points.
Team B, The Readers of the Lost Book, also took 1st place but then also won the Grand Champion title with 51 points.
Team C, The Egg-Chomping Children, took 2nd place with 43 points.
Mrs. Christina Onuskanich is the reading competition coach. She led several reading competition teams in her previous school district and started coaching at CMMS last school year.
She loves being the reading competition coach because she wants to “promote reading.”
“Some of the books on the list are books that students usually wouldn’t chose on their own”, Mrs. O tells us.
“We are always hoping for more readers, the more readers we have the better,” she also reports.
