Students tested on literary knowledge with ‘Clue Me In’ competition

Students in St. Joseph County were testing their literary skills last week.

The “Clue Me In” competition was held March 23-25 at St. Joseph County Intermediate School District, with a different grade division each day — sixth on day one, fifth on day two, fourth on day three.

Depending on grade level, students were tested on classic literature such as “The Giver,” “Hatchet,” “Tuck Everlasting,” “Where the Red Fern Grows,” “Charlotte’s Web” and “Shiloh.”

Students who participated had read about 15 books in their age group.
