Book Battles Changes for 2022 –2023 School Year
We've decided to redesign the Book Battles program into a fun reading incentive program where students can work individually this school year. Our students voted on a new name for it since they won't be battling against each other, and the winner is: Reading Eagles!

FAQs:
Q: What does the program look like this year?
A: We will still use the Book Battles book list decided on by the district and our students will still be rewarded for reading great books! Students that would like to sign up need to commit to reading and filling out reading logs for at least three of the 15 books from the books list for their grade level.
To keep some competition in the program, I am tracking how many books have been read by each grade level and keeping a running tally in the library so the kids can see which grade is winning at any given time. The students in the winning grade level who read and turned in reading logs for at least three books will be invited to a special party with me at the end of the school year!
Q: Will the students still earn prizes?
A: YES! Each time they turn in a completed reading log, they will earn a button reflecting that book. They will also get to pick a prize if/when they’ve turned in 5, 10 and 15 reading logs. Students that read 5 or more books will also be put on our wall of fame!
Q: What books are on the list this year?

Q: Where can the students get reading logs?
