Abstract

Literature Quizzes are an integral part of the Southwell School Library programme. Students read widely, hoping to represent us in the annual Kids’ Lit QuizTM (www.kidslitquiz.com ). In this time of electronic entertainment entice your students to enjoy literature, books and ebooks. Reading encourages empathy with others whose lives and situations differ, global awareness, and knowledge of history. Myths and legends influence cultural practice and social realism helps them cope with life’s problems. Reading is a resource for our humanity. At this workshop play brain-training games. These will be given away along with signed books from New Zealand authors. Learn how to write quiz questions and select teams. Hear how we use cognitive technology to help students retain and retrieve literary information. Make Lit Quizzes part of your library programmes and see your readers grow exponentially. There may be a regional of the Kids’ Lit QuizTM near you!
