*The 13th KIDS READ Bar Mitzvah Year!*
Dear Teacher,
Have you heard about the *K*ids *R*ead anthology?
*K*ids *R*ead is a JELLY project to encourage students to write (and draw)
and read books, by offering them the incentive of publication in a real
magazine, '*K*ids *R*ead'. For the past 12 years teachers have found that
the prize of seeing their work in print has added an extra zest to their
English classes.
After looking over the instructions do be in contact with any questions you
might have to jellyaaci@xxxxxxxxx
1) GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS:
*K*ids *R*ead accepts work from any *3rd to 9th* grader in Israel [English
or Hebrew speakers' class] to be considered for publication.
Here's the challenge â we are looking for your students' creative responses
to literature (a poem or a book) in written or artworkâ¦â¦ Ideas for student
responses include puzzles, poems, quizzes, interviews, dialogues, riddles,
cartoons and caricatures.

students. Entries must be type written and sent by email.
* The required length is *up to one page** maximum*
