Readers Cup is a national competition that has been run by the International School Librarian Network in Singapore for over 10 years. This year the quiz competition and author talks took place virtually and schools could send their top four teams in any of three divisions (Younger, Older and Mature) to take part. The quiz questions are based on the Red Dot books students voted on during the year. This year 50 teams from 11 of the top international schools in Singapore competed!

Feeling the spirit

In Secondary, a record three teams competed this year and all were placed in the top five! COVID restrictions didn’t deter our students who met independently, remaining committed even when meeting in person was a challenge. Our students’ success lies both in their excellent reading skills and their ability to collaborate and support each other. 

The teams met weekly during SMART to discuss the four challenging, full-length novels that would be part of the competition. Each team developed questions and created online Kahoots quizzes in order to test their knowledge and prepare them for the adrenaline-filled virtual quiz which took place on 18 May. It was a tense and exciting competition with lots of fabulous CIS team spirit! Our champions this year wereUme B, Georgia B, Amanda E, Shiqin O, and Zara V.
