Ultimate Book Challenge 25-26

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 8 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.  Dates will be determined and shared. 

How will teams be formed:

All participants who have read AT LEAST THREE books will take a quiz over ALL the books.  This gives students exposure to the type of questions that they will see in the competition and allows them to make a decision of whether they are committed to continue reading and become a team member.  Students that choose to continue will be placed on a team. Teams will be made up of 6 students.
