Good Morning Sean~ I do not see an option for the “Back to School Competition” in the Activities section. Maybe this will show on the 11th? I did however set my class up for weekly reading goals. I LOVE this new feature!!
Thank you!

Sounds great! Is the competition open to school’s outside the U.S?
Please disregard my previous question – obviously it’s open to outside U.S being a “global” competition.
You got it!
Is it only for schools?
For anyone that would like to engage!
Very nice
A question regarding the competition, My students were asking
Students are competing as a class or alone and the prize is for the class?
$150 for the winning class to share?
Yes, you are competing as a class and the prize will be awarded to the class as a whole.
How do I see the Leadership Board for the competition?
Navigate to your “Activities” page and you will see where your class ranks among everyone competing!
Mrs. Moodys Garrett class is going to win.
I’ll be cheering you on!
My students are LOVING this competition and so engaged with their reading on read theory! Is there a way to know where the participants are located? I would love to share with my students in social studies the different place around the world that we are reading with!
Hi! Right now you can only view your individual class’ ranking, but I will pass this along to our tech team, sounds like something fun to put in place for the future!
Is the grand prize for the individual student or the whole class? If it’s for the whole class, will the money have to be split up?
The prizes will be awarded to the whole class. The teacher will decide how to split up or spend the money.

Good Morning Read Theory Coordinators,
I am emailing from Savannah, Georgia and my name is Ms. Sledge. Our 5th graders are competing in the Global Reading Competition, and we have one question we would like answered for further verification. For example, we have 4, 5th grade classes here at my school. if my class (Sledge) ends up in first place, does the whole class receive $150 individually? I have a total of 22 students.
We are excited and we just wanted to make sure we understood the directions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Sledge
All prizes will be awarded to the class in full, not individually. Thanks for participating!

I have a student who has just logged in. How can I get her to enter the competition in her class? Clicking on the competition button does not seem to work, the blue dot remains on the weekly challenge, while the green competition icon remains unresponsive.

Hello there. I’m a student, I don’t find the leaderboard page of the competition within my account, where it is located in read theory?

I can’t find the “Activities” page
As a teacher, when you login to your account, your “Activities” page is located in the top tool bar of your account.
Hi there,
Is it possible to create official certificates or templates for the schools that participated?
We will be sending out an email today with certificates and the coupon information. Thanks for participating!
Can we find out the top 10 finishing schools?
The winners should be announced in the next few days, stay tuned!
Congrats for the winners 🙂
Can you advise how my students can get their 5$ coupon?
We will be sending out an email today with certificates and the coupon information. Thanks for participating!
What does the number next to each class mean? I have registered four of my classes. Three of them have a number 1 next to their class, and a fourth have a number 7?
And when it says for example, you rank 27 out of 1029 – does that refer to all four classes together?
When will you make the final results public?
Do you mind messaging us from your account or our “Contact Us” page so that we can directly address any questions regarding your account?
Good morning

This Global Competition was a great opportunity to instill the love of reading among my English as a second language (ESL) students. I am very proud of their accomplishment. Greetings from North Carolina, USA.
So happy you enjoyed it. Hello North Carolina!
Were winners announced for the competition?
The winners should be announced in the next few days, stay tuned!
Hi,
I haven’t received the email yet. I just wanted to ensure if u sent it or not. If yes, can u resend it to mine please?
What are the exact end times/dates for the competition? My students do not have tech access after school hours and I don’t want them to miss out because others can be late night readers.
The competition doesn’t have a time cut off each day because we have students competing from around the world! So to answer your question, the exact times/dates are from 12:00AM EST on 1/24 until 11:59PM EST on 1/30.
