The Kids' Lit Quiz UK
The heats and national final are held in November/December.
Eileen Armstrong is the national co-ordinator. She writes: The Kids' Lit Quiz is a major national celebration of books and reading imported to the UK from New Zealand, which offers irrestible reading challenges, broadens awareness, is hugely motivating for boys - and, best of all, is great fun!
KLQ UK invites sponsors.
The quiz is an annual event in the UK reading calendar, but to have the same inpact as in New Zealand, it would require major commercial sponsorship. Current UK sponsors include Serco. Supporting publishers are Macmillan, Andersen, Puffin, Scholastic, Walker, Time Warner, Usborne, Simon & Schuster, Random House, OUP, Chicken House, Scotia Books.
Quizmaster Wayne Mills writes a blog. Regional organisers and participants can also post.
