Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl
Several years ago, Mrs. Helen Ruffin, a library media specialist in DeKalb County, wanted to find a way to use the nominee books from the Georgia Children’s Book Awards to encourage her students to read. She therefore created a unique reading competition in game format, called the Reading Bowl, using the award nominees. Her vision was to have teams comprised of students from different schools compete to test their knowledge of the selected books.

Today, the Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl is open to students in grades four through twelve across the state. The winning teams from the Divisional Bowls meet at the Annual Conference on Children’s Literature in March for the State Championship of the Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl.

It’s been a few years since we had a winning Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl team and we’d like to invite students to participate and start reading the books and writing their questions this the summer. It’s easy to join, just look at the titles below and choose which one or one(s) you would like to read. For each book read, create a list of questions about the book for your peers to answer.

If you are interested in being a part of a winning team, please complete the interest survey HERE.
