The Kids' Lit Quiz™

The Kids' Lit Quiz™ is an annual international literature competition.

The Kids' Lit Quiz aims to motivate children and young people to read for pleasure and develop the habit of sustained reading by offering them irresistible reading challenges and enormous fun with a competitive element and great team-building opportunities.

Teams of four students work together to answer wide-ranging literary questions. The winning team from each region competes in the national final.

Timetables, latest results and photos of all the competition can be found on this website, as can details of the quiz, and contact details for national organisers.

The Kids' Lit Quiz is not for profit and run entirely by volunteers. Kids' Lit Quiz™ is a registered trademark.

Quizmaster Wayne Mills writes a blog. Regional organisers and participants can also post.
