Books and a Bit of Friendly Competition

Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World
Escape: The Story of the Great Houdini
War Horse
The Red Pyramid
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon

These are just a few of the Battle of the Books titles!

Battle of the Books has begun in grades 5-8.  Students are challenged to read ten books on a select list.  Students in grade 5 were invited to be part of a weekly class as they read and prepare for the Battle of the Books competition.  Students in grades 6-8 are experienced with this event and work on it more independently. 

In spring, students will form teams and compete against each other to answer questions about the books.  A grade level champion will be selected for each grade and then a grand champion team will be determined for grades 5/6 and grades 7/8.  The students all look forward to this friendly competition.reading.  More information about this program can be found at www.battleofthebooks.com
