Merchantville School is offering this exciting club again this year for students in grades 3-8! This fun reading club will encourage students to work together and read a wide range of genres and authors. Students who sign up will read from a list of books that have been already chosen. After reading the books, students compete in groups to demonstrate their knowledge of the books they have read. There are multiple copies of the Battle books available at school, so students do not need to purchase the books. Students may also listen to the audiobook. Participating students will be responsible for reading at least three of the titles on the list. Students will work together as a team to read all 15 books before the Battle that will be held in late spring. We are working to “battle” some area schools this year!

 

In short, Battle of the Books is a great way for students to read outstanding literature and compete to show their understanding of the story elements of each book. It’s also a lot of fun!  The club will be held monthly from October to June.
