Check out The New York Times's sixth annual reading contest and encourage your students to read this summer!
For the past five years, the New York Times has asked teenagers from ages 13 to 19 to read their newspaper over the summer and enter their reading contest. This year, they have improved the contest by adding a better commenting system. Each week, from June 12 - August 14, students will be posed the question, "What interested you most in The Times this week?" They can choose from articles, essays, photos, and videos they have read, seen, or watched to comment on. This creative way to get students to read has become quite popular and particularly apropos for students who don't want to read for hours on end.
Your students have to register to take part in the contest. Read all about it on The New York Times blog.
