ADA, Ohio (WLIO) - It was an exciting afternoon for the students at Ada Schools. In honor of National Library Week, teachers and staff cooperated on a fun event for their students. Teachers volunteered to be a "Masked Reader" and picked a book to read in their mask, and just like the show "The Masked Singer," their voices were modified so the students couldn't easily guess them.
Throughout the week, the students watched the videos and got clues as to who each of the readers were. When all of the classes submitted their guesses, they gathered together in the auditorium to reveal who each "Masked Reader" was.
"I've heard kids of all ages, I'm saying kindergarten through 12th grade, who have just been chattering this week about the videos that they saw and guessing who they were. Just being excited about what they saw and heard. It all comes around reading and how important it is. This was just a fun way to get them excited about reading," said Chanda Smith, district librarian for Ada Schools.
There were only two classes who guessed all of the Masked Readers correctly. Their reward was a doughnut party.
