Battle of the Books

  • What is it?
    • Battle of the Books is a district-wide competition where students in 4th and 5th grade compete in trivia tournaments centered around the SC Book Award nominees for the current year.  Students spend several months reading the books and then form teams to compete in answering questions.
  • How do students participate?
    • Just start reading the SC Book Award nominees! Students are responsible for creating their own 5-person team, with one team member serving as a team captain.  Once sign up opens in December, students can pick up a sign-up packet with permission slips from the library.
  • When are the tournaments?
    • The first round of tournaments will begin in January during the school day. 
  • What books are students reading?
    • The SC Book award titles for each year can be found on Beanstack, our online reading log, as well as at https://www.scasl.net/book-awards, and students can find the list posted around the library and on book marks received with their sign-up packet!
  • When is the district final and can parents attend?
    • The district final battle will occur on March 9, 2024, and parents of students attending will be able to attend.  More information will be forthcoming!
