Below are literacy events that I have designed and implemented for grades 1-12. You can request access to view the presentations for more details.
The Read-a-Thon is a 4-6 week reading challenge designed to inspire a lifelong love of reading among secondary students. Students will read for 30 minutes daily and track their progress using reading logs during this event. They will earn raffle tickets, prizes, and class rewards based on participation. The project also encourages community involvement through volunteer opportunities and an interactive digital tracker where students, parents, and teachers can share positive comments and celebrate reading milestones.
The Spelling Bee Contest is an exciting and educational event designed to test students' spelling abilities and expand their vocabulary in a school-wide event. Each group level will compete by spelling words aloud, progressing through different rounds with words of varying difficulty. As they advance, they’ll face new challenges, from simple words to more complex ones, encouraging focus, memory, and language skills.
The Bingo Reading Challenge is an engaging activity designed to motivate students to read books while having fun for grades 1-12. Students receive a bingo card with different reading tasks, such as "Read a book by a new author" or "Read for 30 minutes outside." Each time a task is completed, they mark the corresponding square. Completing a row, column, or the entire card earns rewards like raffle tickets, special prizes, or class recognition. The challenge encourages a love for reading while promoting literacy skills in an exciting, goal-oriented way.
Managed the annual KFS Spelling Bee, an inter-school educational initiative for students across Grades 1-9, aimed at enhancing literacy, vocabulary, and public speaking skills. This project involved comprehensive event planning, developing multi-tiered competition rules and resources (including a dedicated website), and orchestrating communications with participating schools, teachers, and parents. The initiative culminated in a successful inter-school oral competition on May 22nd, fostering academic excellence and community engagement.
The Read-a-Thon is a 3week reading challenge designed to inspire a lifelong love of reading among students. This year we are expanding the event across the school for grades 1-12 and ELL student. Students will read for 30 minutes daily and track their progress using reading logs during this event. They will earn raffle tickets, prizes, and class rewards based on participation.
