I think you are the one to make this a all or nothing situation! I never said none of the other kids were in it for the joy of reading, I said that by making it a competition that already have an allmost certain winner it could put of some kids that are slower reader and have not yet found that joy in books that this kid clearly already have found.

So, do you think that next year this kid will say "Iīm not allowed to compete and win this year so I will not read this year"?

I donīt agree with the way that librarian put blame on the child, itīs not his fault that the other kids canīt keep up with him. Itīs the rules that are wrong and several people here have suggested ways to change them.
