Mind blowing young readers with their phenomenal knowledge of the
contents of so many books made up the Wellington Regional leg of the Kids’ Lit
Quiz (brain child of Wayne Mills senior lecturer in
the Faculty of Education at the University of Auckland) last Friday (28.3.14) at
Papakowhai School, north of Wellington. All of us who were privileged to be
part of the team of markers came away knowing just why we spend so much of our lives working with
books for children and young adults…
The winners of the Wellington Regional heats were Wellesley College from
Eastbourne, second were Mt Cook School and third came Evans Bay
Intermediate.
For a complete list of winners in each region (as they happen) just Google 2014 Kids Lit Quiz

(This is probably my favourite book event of the year!)
