Purpose

This competition will be held in Kyoto as a place where juniors working on English arithmetic reading will be able to fully demonstrate the results of their daily practice.

By participating from the beginner level, juniors will be able to experience the appeal of English arithmetic reading competition at an early age, paving the way for the next step and the national competition.

We also hope that this will be an opportunity for juniors to deepen their interactions with peers from Japan and abroad, broadening their horizons.
