Young Readers' Choice and Sasquatch Awards

Battle of the Books  2008-2009

Battle of the Books is a nation-wide reading incentive program designed to encourage students to read quality literature. Participation is voluntary for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. Students form their own teams of four, then compete as teams to answer questions from 15 books selected from award winning literature.
Battle of the Books is supported by the school library and librarian. The competition happens at lunch recess during the month of March. Muir's Battle Team is selected by a tournament style competition. Muir's team will complete with other LWSD elementary schools with the librarian moderating via the Internet.
Battle Books can be checked out in the Muir Library as well as the Kingsgate public library.
