Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is a program for fourth and fifth grade students. It is coordinated by WEMTA, the Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Association, and is available to teams statewide. Parkview Middle School has a program too, so we are happy to be able to get even more kids involved earlier on in school.
From the WEMTA site:
"The statewide Battle of the Books' program is designed to promote a love of reading among our students. It encourages students to read a variety of books and remember information about the plots, characters, and settings of the books...It is a fun, academic-based competition that has been very successful in school district's throughout the state in encouraging students to read."
Book lists and detailed information about participating and forming teams of students will be available in September when school begins. Students will form teams and read through the titles on the list in preparation for school-wide 'mini-battles.' These battles will determine the team from each school that will be entered in the state competition, which is typically held in late February. Interested students should talk with the library media specialist in their school building.
