The West Ada School District's Literary Games
Unlock New Worlds, One Page at a Time!
Welcome to the West Ada School District's Literary Games, an exciting personal reading challenge for students (grades 6-12) and district staff. This year, we invite you to explore a wider variety of books and genres. The Literary Games are all about pushing yourself, expanding your reading horizons, and embracing the joy of discovery. Remember, it’s not a contest—it’s a personal challenge based on the honor system, and the real reward comes from your commitment to the rules and guidelines.
