Battles will be held April 12-16, 2027

You are invited to participate in Battle of the Books!

What: Battle of the Books is a team competition. Students form teams of 4 or 5 students, read as many books as they can, memorize the titles and authors, and finally compete against other teams by answering questions about the books.

Example competition question: In what book does a boy live under

the stairs in his aunt and uncle’s house?

Answer: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by JK Rowling

New this year:

• Students will need to read two books before November in order to join a team.

• Students will turn in a reading slip to the library every time they read a book. Parents will sign each reading slip.

How: We will be making teams on November 5 during school. Students can pick who reads each book, or try to all read as many as they can. Books can be found in the school and public libraries. Students can also listen to audio books or someone can read books to them.

Teams: You can come with team members in mind or find a team on our team making day. PTA will be helping students to make teams. You will only be making teams with your own grade. You will only be competing against your own grade.

Huddle Ups: A few times through the year, we will get teams together to check-in with each other.

Prizes: Prizes will be distributed once a month based on reading slips that have been turned in.

Battles: Battles will be held April 12 & 13. During this time, we need lots of volunteers. If you are able, please save the date to help us during this week.

Bowling Parties: Those who read enough books (13 for 2nd grade and 15 for grades 3-6), will be invited to a bowling party on either April 14 or 15.
