What would I do? After the fiasco of last year, I would call it a well-intentioned idea that did not go as planned, and earnestly propose retiring the competition. Find some other way to stimulate reading. The emphasis should be on the reading, not the scoring or competing, and it should not involve parents as monitors and police. And how will losing encourage anyone? Let them all be winners in the pleasure of reading itself. Maybe I’m a dinosaur, but I would think reading aloud to the kids from an actual physical book for a set period every day, a well-chosen book that grabs and holds their interest, would do more to encourage reading than any amount of logging, posting, and comparing numbers, never mind being subject to judgments and reprimands.
