[LM_NET] TAR: Reading Contest during Schoolwide Testing

[Pat Hoppe <Marbeth2@AOL.COM>]

Hello Everyone!
 
I had a great Turkey Day.  I hope everyone else did, too. My teachers  have 
approached me with a challenge.
 
We are having a  practice state mandated test for 4 hrs--every  class on 
campus.  The students have to stay in the classroom  and be  quiet when they are 
finished.  They are only allowed to read, no other  activity.  As you all know 
some will finish way before the others.
 
The teachers wondered is there some reading contest I could come up with to  
get them to read quietly until all are finished.   Each student will  have a 
book of their choice for after the test.   Has anyone ever  promoted a reading 
contest during school wide testing?  Any  suggestions? 
 
I appreciate any and all suggestions.  I will post a hit if I get any  
replies.
