The competition begins in October with the class and school sheaths, followed by district and district transfers to state and federal finals. The students are assessed according to criteria such as reading duration, liquid, clarity and reading speed.

It is hoped that Paula Neubert and her colleagues serve as role models to inspire other children, to deal with books and to further develop their reading skills. This reflects the goal of promoting the desire to read and sustainable reading skills.

The commitment of schools and the organizers shows how important the support and promotion of reading skills in today's society is. It remains exciting how the next rounds of the competition will develop and which new talents are discovered.
