Battle of the Books

-
Head Coach: Alison Perry, Media Coordinator
Co-Coach: Catherine Thompkins, 5th grade teacher
Elementary Battle of the Books is a county wide reading competition for students in grades 4 and 5. Approximately fifteen books are selected each year to be featured in the competition. Each team may have 12 team members. Throughout the year team members read and become experts on the fifteen selected books. Our team meets after school at least once per week to read, prepare, and practice for competition. Candidates for the team need to be avid readers who are willing to make a commitment to read the selected books, multiple times. During the competition, questions are posed to a team of 4-6 members and conferring occurs before the answer is given. This is truly a team effort. Approximately 40 teams compete in 5 days of preliminary rounds. The top 2 finishers each day compete in the county finals. BOB permission forms are available in the Media Center. The first meeting will be in September, after school. Your child must have prompt and reliable transportation home at the end of each practice time.
