Form your teams and start reading NOW! Battles will begin in early January.
We will be using a "points only" battle format. Watch for futher news!!
The Battle of the Books is an optional program offered to students in Grades 4 - 6, to promote reading quality literature.
All Intermediate classes will be introduced to the books chosen for this year's "battle" in September. Students are encouraged to read as many of the titles as possible. They will form teams of up to four classmates. Teams will compete by answering questions that can be answered with the title of one of the books.
The list for the Battle of the Books includes titles from the Young Reader’s Choice Nominees and the Sasquatch Nominees. Students who have read two titles in each category are also entitled to vote for these awards.
