Reading+Classic

Dorchester Public Schools has been involved with Reading Classic several years; however, there have been years where grades have not participated. Currently, there is a grade 3-4 team, a grade 5-6 team, and a grade 7-9 team. The grade 3-4 team was brought back in the fall of 2001. The grade 5-6 team was brought back the fall of 2003. Mrs. Ridpath and Mrs. Johnson are the coaches for the grades 3-4 and 5-6 teams. Mrs. Severance is the coach for the grade 7-9 team. The teams are open to everyone in those grades. There are monthly meetings to discuss the books on the Reading Classic list for grades 3-6. In December, a test is given to all team members in grades 3-6. The top five scores become the five Reading Classic team members (4 members and 1 alternate). The teams compete in the county competition in March and then the state competition in April (if they win the County competition). The book lists for each grade are listed below:
