"Polka Dot Cookies" reading team
A team of Highland Terrace Elementary 4th and 5th graders won the Shoreline School District Global Reading Challenge. The "Polka Dot Cookies," coached by librarian Frank Kleyn, edged teams from six other Shoreline elementary schools.
Highland Terrace advances to the regional challenge in March. Last year, Syre Elementary finished third in the countywide finals.
The Global Reading Challenge is a cooperative effort between King County Library System and local public school districts. This is a Battle of the Books-style program that allows 4th and 5th graders across the county to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. Each year, King County Library System children's librarians select 10 titles in a wide range of reading levels especially suited to the interests of young readers.
