INTRODUCTION
To recognize the effort of active readers, the English Department of YWPS is glad to run the “Reading Championship” (since 2014) for our P.5-6 boys. For those of you who have a genuine passion in English reading, this is a great opportunity for you to be awarded. 1. NOMINATION PROCEDURE Any current YWPS student of P.5-6 may be nominated by their English teacher according to their daily reading habit, reading performance and reading attitude for the academic year. A total of 6 students in maximum from each class (P.5-6) would be nominated for screening. 2. HOW TO WIN There are TWO rounds in this contest to select the final FIVE WINNERS for each level! 1st round – A board of judges formed by English teachers of YWPS will review the portfolios of the nominees in May/June. The following documents will be reviewed: a) Reading Strategies Training Booklet, 1st and 2nd terms b) Reading Log, 1st and 2nd terms |
The judges will be looking for evidence showing that the contestants have been reading a wide range of English materials with skills and quality reflections. 10 people from each level enter the 2nd round.
2nd round – This round takes the form of an interview. Each finalist will be interviewed in June individually by a board of judges formed by English teachers of YWPS. Questions may be asked concerning:
a) the finalist’s reading habit,
b) the books he has read, as reported in the Reading Logs,
c) his feedback on specific pieces from the Reading Bundle (school-based anthology of published works), and
d) any other relevant matters that come up during the interview.
Final winners of each level will be chosen after the interviews, to be approved by Headmistress.
