Battle of the Books
4th - 5th years

Registration: December 15
Season: January until the competition in April
Battle of the Books: April 11

Our primary focus is to share the enjoyment of reading and have great discussions about books leading up to a fun day of competition in April. 

Program structure:
• Students will be divided into teams for registration, deciding team name and motto as well as designing the coat of arms but all participants from TCH will work/study together as one large group. 
• Teams of six are ideal. We understand things are more fun with friends, and we'll account for preferences when creating balanced teams.
• Practices (for everyone) will be held at school up to twice a week beginning late January. In March/April,  there may be a few additional practices determined by team members' availability. Practice may be in the morning (7:45-8:15), lunchtime, or right after school (3:15-3:45) It will depend on coaches’ availabilities. 

Key dates:
• December 15: Team registration opens on the Battle of the Books Website. 
• January 5, 2026: Last day to register on the Battle of the Books website.
• Friday, January 9, 2026: Book reveal at the library. All teams are assigned the same 8 books of various genres and sizes. The announcement event at the library is a fun community experience that gets the kids' curiosity going. 
• Saturday, April 11, 2026: The Battle of the Books!

FYI:
• Participants are expected to read at least 2 of the 8 assigned books for a team of 6. They do not need to be stellar readers. Audio books are still books! Parents reading counts too! 

Coach info:
• Many hands make light work: parents, grandparents, other caregivers, please consider joining us, however you can (see below). It's a lot of fun.

• If you are interested in coaching, wonderful! If you'd like to help in other ways, please know you do not have to read the books, or even go to the meetings: there are many ways to become involved, and every bit helps. You could:

• Provide excellent snacks
• Help develop a few quiz-like questions around books
• Fill in when a coach isn’t able to make it to a meeting
• Encourage your kids to read, or read with them!

If an adult from your household can help out in any capacity, please let us know. We will likely need at least three assistant coaches. Thank you for considering! This will help us start strong and work together from the beginning.
