Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a literature enrichment program open to 4th and 5th grade students throughout the district. Each student has been given a list of 40 titles representing top quality books at a wide variety of reading levels and diverse literary genres that are rich in content.

Students have through April to read their way through the list. Meetings will be held after school on Wednesdays in the LRC with Mrs. Dvorchak and Ms. Lorenzen to discuss the books and practice Battle questions. In January, final teams of four students each are chosen for 4th and 5th grades to represent Naper School in the district battle. GO NAPER!
