2021 Battle of the Books Quizzes
2021 Program
This year the program is simple. Read a book, take a quiz, get a prize. Each quiz is 5 questions long and you CAN look back in the book to help you remember the answer. You must get all 5 questions right to get a prize. You can take the quiz as many times as you need until you pass. We'd like students to take quizzes at home, but if you are unable to take a quiz at home, you can take a quiz during your library time. Once you take a quiz, you will get a prize during library time.
Virtual learners can also read and take quizzes. Prizes for virtual learners will be distributed at the end of the year.
