What IS Battle of the Books?
Battle of the Books is a fun competition for any student in 3rd - 5th grades.
Students read books from a set book list and compete in a schoolwide battle to determine which four students will represent Earhart at the USD 259 Battle!
These four students will compete against other students from participating schools to answer questions about the books from the list. In order to be successful, students must know the book title, details about the story or subject, the characters, and the author.
How do I get on the team?
First, you have to read the books on the list. NOW is a great time to begin! The list is available from the links below or from your library, so be sure to get a copy.
Next, read those books and turn in your book slips!
Last, participate in the school battle in December!
If you win a spot on the Earhart Battle of the Books team, you will go the official Battle of the Books competition!
Still have questions?
Please ask Mrs. Moore!
Guide to Book Care
- Keep your books in a safe place.
- Return your books on time.
- Do not eat or drink while reading library books.
- Wash and dry your hands before reading library books.
- Keep books away from pets and little ones. They do not know how to take care of books!
- Never draw or write in a library book!
- Always use a bookmark!
- If the library book has been damaged, bring it to your librarian. They will repair it if they can. DO NOT REPAIR THE BOOK YOURSELF! Your librarian has the right tools and training to fix books.
- If you lose your book or it is damaged while in your care, you will need to pay to replace it. Talk to your librarian.
