Battle of the Books
The purpose of the Elementary Battle of the Books program is to encourage reading by all students at the elementary school level. Students, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints by prominent authors in the area of young adult literature. The game format creates interest and excitement in reading. Through the fun and excitement of the competition, students improve reading skills, mature in their choices of reading materials, and acquire a broader knowledge base. Even during the height of the competition, students and coaches should remember that the goal is to READ, not necessarily to win!
Students will be asked to read ALL of the 15 books listed below. Students should also take notes for each book. A team of students in Grades 4 and 5 will be selected for the Silverdale Elementary Battle of the Books team based on the number of books read and the student's ability to demonstrate comprehension and recall of details. A maximum of 12 students, but a minimum of 4 students, can be selected for the team. For more information, please visit the North Carolina Elementary Battle of the Books website here. Any additional questions can be directed toward the Silverdale Battle of the Books Team Coach, Mrs. Meadows.
