READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU SIGN UP:

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl is an annual competition. 4th and 5th grade students read 10 assigned books, then they can compete in a quiz-bowl style competition against other schools. Teams consist of up to 5 players with up to 5 alternate players (total of 10 kids max).

If your child is interested in competing in this year's reading bowl, please fill out the form below. They will attend bi-monthly practices through October and weekly practices after that. The date and format of the competition this year is subject to change based on social distancing protocols.

Attending our first meeting is NOT a final commitment and is NOT a guarantee your child will make the final team. Our first meeting will be to go over reading bowl expectations. The first meeting is Thursday, Sep. 17th from 3:30-4pm.

Students will be invited to join a reading bowl Google Classroom and will join Google Meet from there to attend club meetings.

More information on the Reading Bowl competition, including the reading list, can be found at this website: https://www.dekalbschoolsga.org/hrrb/about-us/

A student does NOT have to have started or finished the reading bowl books at this time in order to sign up.

Students will be given a deadline to finish all 10 books. They are encouraged to finish five books by October 9th.
