Kids' Lit Quiz - Julia

Julia from Kerikeri High School is the Northland Co-ordinator for the Kids' Lit Quiz, and gave a quick outline of what it is and how it works... For more information you can go to the website http://www.kidslitquiz.com/or contact Julia at Kerikeri High School.

In Northland our regional heat is early in the year - at the end of Term 1 or very beginning of Term 2 usually, and so promotion needs to get underway early in Term 1, if not Term 4 the year before...

Julia outlined her strategy for promoting the Quiz, recruiting participants and refining the actual teams, and then working with them to explore wide reading across genres and formats, book discussion and reading mileage.

No reason why you may not want to have literature quizzes informally with students - there are resources on the web, or you can ask students to make the questions for books they have read and then gather them up...

Another approach is "Battle of the Books"...
