Battle of the Books is a reading competition where teams of 3rd/4th/5th/6th graders choose from a list of books in a variety of different genres/lengths. Parent leaders meet with their teams over lunch about once a month to quiz them on the books they are reading.
In the spring we will have “battles” after school. The two teams from 3rd/4th and 5th/6th with the
highest scores will compete in a Final Battle in front of the 2nd-6th grade classes.
Here are a few of the books we will be reading this school year. We will send out the final list once we have formed our teams and have parent leaders signed up. If you are interested in leading a team or would like more information, please contact BOB co-chairs below.
