Global Reading Challenge is a collaborative effort of the Seattle Public Library (SPL) and Seattle Public Schools.   

Every year, 4th and 5th graders participate in this fun team reading challenge. In a typical year, students participate on mixed grade level teams, read GRC books, and then play a trivia-style competition against other teams at the school. 

In March, the winning team from Montlake participates in a semifinal round against schools across the district. The program aims are:

• Promote a love of reading
• Introduce students to diverse viewpoints
• Help students retain more of what they read
• Foster group activities and teamwork

If your 4th or 5th grader is interested in participating, more information will be available after the books are announced at the beginning of November.
