300 Minute Reading Challenge
The 300 Minute Reading Challenge was launched in 2019. The third part of the challenge in Finnish was published on 28.4.2020. The English version was published in May 2020.
The first part of the challenge was aimed at younger children. The second part of the challenge was meant for grades 7–9 and part three is aimed at older students. However, anyone is welcome to participate in the challenge!
The reading challenge was created by the Jääli School students’ union in Oulu and published together with the Oulu City Library. The Oulu City Library is also a part of the national Literacy Movement through the challenge.
The reading challenge is about reading 10 minutes at a time using different styles of reading. You can choose from 30 different styles. Part three of the challenge is about reading 30 minutes at a time, using 10 different reading styles. You can use only one style of reading per reading session. Once you have finished the challenge, you have read 300 minutes in total. Excellent job!
