Battle of the Books

5th graders will have the opportunity to participate in Battle of the Books! The statewide Battle of the Books program is designed to promote a love of reading among our students. It encourages students to read a variety of books and remember information about the plots, characters, and settings of the books. Every question asked in a battle is answered by the title and author of the book and takes the form of: Name the book in which a horse and a boy are stranded on an island. It is a fun, academic-based competition that has been very successful in school districts throughout the state in encouraging students to read. 5th grade students are encouraged to form teams of three of four students to participate. Sign up will be during the first couple weeks of school!
