Returning fifth graders committed to the competition rules will have top priority for BOB slots.
Other fifth and fourth graders will be chosen through a lottery if slots are available. The lottery provides more equitable access to Battle of the Books for all students. We have so many who want to participate and a limited number of slots; 60 slots to create 12 teams.
All team members are required to read all 15 books on the list by the competition date. Students should begin reading ASAP.
Teams of (approximately) 5 will be formed by the coaches.
Parents will be notified if their student was selected via email, and those selected will receive more detailed information about meeting dates and participation in Battle of the Books.
