Reading Fair Instructions

What: Reading Fair Projects

Students will read a fiction book and create a storyborard that displays information about the book. Please

remember Bible stories are nonfiction. Students who use a Bible story for their project will not be

eligible for judging. A list of the required information is attached. Storyboard must measure 30" x 40" and not

be larger than 36" x 48" including any headers. Any displays should it within the depth of the standing triboard.


Storyboards should be colorful and interesting. Creativity and originality count! Models and illustrations should

fit in the middle of the display. No items that are dangerous, valuable or alive are allowed.


The student's name, grade, teacher and school should be written neatly on the label provided (see 2nd page), and

and attached to the back of the project.


When: All projects are due on Wednesday, January 17, 2007.

Judging will be done on Thursday, January 18, 2007.


How: Kindergarten and First grade students may choose a book that has been read to them, or that they have

listened to on tape. These students may need help in cutting, drawing, writing and spelling. This is permissible

and part of the learning process: however judges will be able to tell if the child helped create their project. Please

remember the child should do the majority of the work.


Questions about the book should be simplified for this age group. For example: What was the book about? What

happens in this book? Was there a problem in the book? How did this book make you feel?


Second Grade students must have their book approved by their teacher. It should be a fiction book of

appropriate length. Some parental help is allowed, but the student should do as much work as possible.

Judges will be looking for evidence of student involvement.


Scoring: The scoring rubric that will be used by the judges is attached. Projects may be disqualified if the name of

child is on the front of the project (and cannot be removed), size requirements are not met, a nonfiction book

is used, or any required elements are left off.


Categories: There are two categories to choose from. A student may enter as an Individual. This means the student has

done the great majority of the work themselves. The Family category is for a student who has either worked

together with a sibling or an adult. If there are two or more siblings working on a project, it will be entered

in the oldest child's division. If a project appears to have the majority of the work done by an adult, it will

be entered in the Family category.
