Battle of the Books is an exciting book-based competition for students in grades 4-5 to read TEN librarian-selected books. Students compete in teams to answer questions relating to the book content. The game format creates interest and excitement in reading, while cultivating teamwork, and encouraging good sportsmanship.
The mission of Battle of the Books is to encourage reading. Through their preparations, students are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of styles and viewpoints. Additionally, the participants develop reading comprehension skills and increase their vocabulary. All this is accomplished while having a great time!
Any fourth or fifth grade student interested in BOB must join the second season After School Activity (January 5 to March 5).
Students will be put into teams of 4-6, will be introduced to the books, and will participate in book activities. The final battle will be in April when the visiting author, George O'Connor, is visiting the school.
