READING BOWL INFO Please review ALL of the information found at http://www.tomesociety.org/reading-bowl.html if your chapter plans to compete in the Reading Bowl competition. Exam book lists and dates can be found on this page, as well. Also, please note the new Proctor Requirement for Reading Bowl exams this school year. Direct questions to readingbowl@tomesociety.org. COMPETITIONS Find the complete list of competition offerings and directions at http://www.tomesociety.org/competitions.html. We've added 3 new competitions (lesson plans and competitions rubrics coming soon)!
Also, we've added a Competition Exemplars page to the website and are working to populate those examples for you. See the page here: http://www.tomesociety.org/competition-exemplars.html TomeCon 2020 - Find Your Spark! We are already in the process of booking authors and other guest speakers for TomeCon. We think you will be very excited by who has already said they're coming! This is going to be another can't-miss-event. Please make plans to attend all day from 9am to 5pm to get the full experience. Reminder - any school bringing students to TomeCon is required to provide a half or full-day volunteer for the event. Most of these volunteers will be acting as room & hall monitors and all of the volunteers are VERY necessary to make TomeCon a fun and safe day. Please begin planning now for who you will bring. Ideas- co-workers, retired teachers, parents, your family members, college students, etc. Help us find sponsors! The Tome Team is actively working to reduce the student ticket cost for TomeCon 2020, BUT we can't make it happen without partnering with sponsors for the event. Please help us by reaching out to your community members and parents who work with businesses that would be interested in supporting student literacy and getting their name out to 3,000 people from across the state of Georgia and beyond!
