Wayland-Cohocton CSD

PageTurners is a literature-based competition for students in grades 3-12. Wayland-Cohocton Elementary participates in Chapter 1 (grades 3-6). We send teams from the Cohocton building to two competitions each year. Two teams of six students per building prepare to answer questions by reading the books on the Official List of Titles, which is prepared by a committee of teachers and librarians. Teams compete in a round-robin format with nearby schools, and division winners advance to a region-wide final tournament. Winning teams are recognized with plaques. All participants receive certificates.

Students participating in PageTurners may read up to 14 books each semester, selected by a panel of teachers and library specialists. Audio books and iPods are available through Media Library at Genesee Valley BOCES. Students are encouraged to participate in writing questions for competitions. In theCohocton Elementary building we meet every Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. and Thursday mornings from 8 to 8:50 a.m. We have LAB on Monday and Tuesday afternoons where students are welcomed in the Library to listen to a book on one of our 6 Ipods, take quizzes or read quitly and discuss our books. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Walker or Mrs. Gardiner by calling the Cohocton Elementary Office at 384-5234 or by emailing Cherry Walker (cwalker@wccsk12.org) or Mrs. Gardiner (agardiner@wccsk12.org).
