GRADES 1-5 INFORMATION:

We are excited to continue our reading program for this school year. Just a reminder, it is called America’s Battle of the Books. This is a national program and has been around for several years. This program is NOT in the normal school curriculum but is just a fun addition as a PTA  sponsored school program.

What is it:

Battle of the Books is a reading incentive program to encourage kids to read a high quality and a high quantity of books. They are grade appropriate with easy and more difficult books within each grade level lists. Students will read about 6-7 (or all if they want) out of the 12 books on a provided list. Reading can begin in the summer and needs to be finished by April. The battle will take place the first week of March. Teams will be made up of 3-4 students per team. Teachers may require participation or make it optional. We will also have an adapted battle for the younger grades. 

What kids need to do:

Get one of the books on the provided list from the school library and read! They are familiar titles and you may own them already or you can check them out from the public library. Encourage your student to read for understanding so they don’t rush through too quickly.

What is the Battle:

It is basically a game show type question battle. Teams will be asked a question regarding a book and they must say the title of the book and the author to get the points. We will most likely do a classroom round and grade level round. It is a lot of fun!

Prizes and Incentives will be awarded throughout the year and the day of the Battle.
