Ultimate Book Challenge

What is it?

The Ultimate Book Challenge, formerly known as Battle of the Books, is a reading competition designed to improve reading and comprehension while also building enthusiasm for reading.  Students will compete individually and in teams to show their knowledge of 9 pre-selected books. 

Who can compete?

Students in 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade are eligible for the competition.

When does it start?

Students will be given an introduction to the competition at the beginning of the school year.  Morning practices will occur from 7:20-7:40am on designated grade level days. Third Grade meets on Tuesdays, Fourth Grade meets on Wednesdays, and Fifth Grade meets on Thursdays.

How will teams be formed:

Teams will be made up of 3-6 students, with the help of the librarian on the first practice da. 

When is the school-wide battle?

In December, the student teams will compete against each other to determine our Champion Team. To compete in the school-wide battle, students must read AT LEAST THREE books and attend AT LEAST FIVE practices.

When is the district battle?

In February, our school Ultimate Book Challenge team will compete against the other elementary schools' teams to declare a district winner.
