Davis Book Battles is a voluntary reading program for students in grades 3-6th. The purpose is to encourage students to read a variety of books of different genres and to have fun competing with their peers.

Students are required to read at least 2 books from a list of 15 books. Students are encouraged to read as many books from the list that they can. The more they read the more they will know when it comes time for battles in March. Students who read and pass a comprehension quiz about the book will be added to the "Battle of the Books Board". As they read more books, they will move up in "rank" until they read all 15 books becoming a "General".

Students do NOT need to be on a team to read the books.

If they choose to be on a team, each student will be put on a team of 4-5 students. Each team will compete with other teams in their grade level during school battles.

We will learn the authors and "practice battle" each other. Battle meetings will be mandatory January - March.

Schedule

If you as a parent or guardian would like your child to have more books, you may come with them and get as many books as you would like them to have before or after school.
