Welcome to the Sport of Reading!
Kids Lit Quiz 2026
After starting Kids Lit Quiz Australia in 2012 and coordinating it for 14 years, Nicole Deans is retiring from her role as National Coordinator in 2025. We will miss her enthusiasm and flawless coordination of the competition. We say thanks to Nicole and wish her every happiness for the next chapter of her life.
In 2026, Kids Lit Quiz Australia will be coordinated by a committee of Teacher Librarians whose schools have previously hosted and/or participated in the competition. Please be patient as we update this website and information about next year’s competition.
