Piney Grove Elementary School

So how does this work?  Students who participate will need to be familiar with 12 books. Students then compete in teams in a quiz show format. Points are earned by identifying the book and author when presented with details from that book. For example, "In which book does a character find a tree house while playing in the woods with his sister?”. After a question is asked, students have 20 seconds to discuss what the answer is with their team. If the student can name both the title and author, 3 points will be earned for their team. If only the title of the book is named, 2 points will be earned for their team. If a team misses a question, the same question will be asked to the opposing team as a rebound question. Rebound questions are only given 10 seconds, and can only earn a total of 2 points. Third grade will start their competition the beginning of May. 

We would like to encourage students to check these books out at our school library or public library to read and reread so they can be prepared for the Battle of the Books.

Third grade classrooms are in need of copies of these books for students to read at school. It would be greatly appreciated if you could donate a book to your child’s classroom.

We are SO EXCITED to be able to use this enrichment opportunity with your child in order to take their reading to another level!  Thank you so much and please let us know what you think!
