Please read the following terms and conditions carefully.
The motivation for the Readers Cup is to encourage children to read and to let readers in schools have an opportunity to shine. To be the winner is a wonderful achievement BUT every child who participates is a winner if they have enjoyed the experience and read titles they hadn't encountered before. We cannot emphasise enough that this must be an enjoyable experience for the children in their reading and the sharing of the books with each other. We expect teams to prepare themselves and have no adult coaches. This will empower the teams to motivate and organise themselves which we believe is part of the Readers Cup experience. We hope you will respect this decision and have adults encourage from the sidelines rather than lead from the front.
