Philadelphia Reading Olympics will again celebrate reading this May. The program is an opportunity for students in grades 4-6 to share their enthusiasm for reading and to collaborate through teamwork.

Reading Olympics teams consist of 6 to 12 students and 1 adult coach. Each team collectively reads 20 books that were selected by a committee of librarians and educators. Teams compete by answering questions about the books, and all participants are awarded ribbons. Everyone is a winner in this academic competition.

The Philadelphia Reading Olympics is sponsored by a partnership of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, The Free Library of Philadelphia, PHILADELPHIA READS, and the School District of Philadelphia.
