Who wants to be a Word Millionaire?
"Who wants to be a Word Millionaire?" is a short-term reading intervention, which will challenge our incoming 1st year students in September 2018. It aims to engage students in recreational reading, at home with the support of their parents, and to collectively read a total of one million words (or more) over a six-week period.
​
Support materials will be provided to the students: 4th year students will explain all of the rules and guidelines, "Who Wants To Be a Word Millionaire?" achievement certificates and "Who Wants To Be a Word Millionaire?" wall charts for entering and tracking the cumulative totals of words read to date.
