Battle of the Books!

 

HEY 3rd, 4th and 5th grade readers! 

Want to “Battle” it out?  Join a Battle of the Books team, or create one of your own.

You will read fantastic books, have fun with friends, and test your memory by “battling” other teams.  The winner O’Dea's building BOB from each grade will go to the district competition to try their luck and skills against other schools.

Battle of the Books is a fantastic means of supporting reading. 

Teams of 3-4 students (3rd through 5th grade) find coaches and start reading books from their grade-level BOB reading list.  Books are available to students thanks to O'Dea's PTA.

Team members meet usually once a week to discuss the books they are reading and practice answering competition questions.  All of the books must be read before the March O’Dea competition.

It is great fun to compete against other teams answering comprehension questions about the book they have read. 

BOB Coaches Needed! 
Students! BOB Books Cannot Be Checked Out Until You Have A Coach And A Team!
