“Battle of the Books” Book Club
Battle of the Books 2020-2021
Please join a team to be a part of Salt Lake City School District’s is annual Battle of the Books for middle grade students! In preparation for the event, Glendale will be holding weekly Book Club meetings.
Our first Book Club meeting will be announced soon and so will the book list! Books can be found at the public library, or checked out online via SORA Reading App.
The Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read, respond to and engage with good books. A "Battle" is like a College Bowl or Geography Bee.
Teams of four students (and one alternative) will answer questions based on the school year's books. The school team with the most correct answers wins the Battle for the school year.
The school district has purchased electronic copies of the book list which is available via the SORA Reading App. Salt Lake City Public Library has multiple copies of the books too.
Glendale students in grades 6-8 are invited to participate in the 2020-2021 SLCSD Battle of the Books. **SOON** A list of books will be posted for this year’s Battle of the Books competition.
You do not need to participate in the battle to read the books. They are great recommendations for reading. If you want to participate in the competition, you will want to get a head start on reading the books.
