How It Works

Two rounds. One champion.

A two-round competition that starts with reading and ends with storytelling.

1
Round One Β· Apr 27 – May 25

Read. Collect. Climb.

Work through the reading list and climb the leaderboard.

  • 1
    Your class reads books from the official competition reading list, published on 27 April in your Teacher Dashboard.
  • 2
    Every completed reading list book earns coins - automatically tracked in the app.
  • 3
    Your class ranking is based on your average coins per class, so a smaller class competes on exactly equal terms with a larger one.
  • 4
    Watch your class climb the global leaderboard in real time. Top 20% advance to Round 2.
2
Round Two Β· Finalists Only Β· Jun 1 – Jun 12

Rewrite the Ending.

Rewrite the ending - and perform it for the world.

  • 1
    Finalist classes take on a creative challenge: writing an original sequel to a book handpicked by the BOOKR team for their level.
  • 2
    Students bring the story to life - performed out loud, recorded as a video.
  • 3
    The top three classes win experience credits that their whole class will enjoy together.
