What: EXCITING NEWS! Our students from ALL counties have been given approval to compete in the Battle as long as they have read at LEAST 20 of the 28 books AND are willing to travel to BAKERSFIELD for the competition in May 2025!

Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in grades 3-8. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with peers. Students will read from a list of 28 books that BOB dictates. Then students will compete in the Kern Central Region Competition held at the California Living Museum in May 2025. Our club's goal is to train our students for the competition. We will do this by playing games like Kahoot! and having engaging discussions of what they are reading.

When: Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from 2:00-3:00 p.m.
