STM BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
St. Thomas More Battle of the Books is an optional reading program for 3rd - 8th grade students. Participants read from a list of 15 or 16 books (based on the Oregon Battle of the Books list), and then compete in teams by answering trivia questions about the books in a game show format. Participation in this program encourages students to read different genres and work together as a team. STM does not participate in the regional or state OBOB competition, but instead battles within STM and finalists battle another Archdiocesan school (usually St. Clare).
Participation is not required, but all are invited!
If a student is interested in being on a team and participating in the competition in the spring they should read a minimum of 4 books from the list by January. Once placed on a team they will be asked to read 3-5 more books. Happy reading!!

As we are getting through the summer, all of the good study habits that you cultivated during the school year disappear unless you use them. Reading is a fantastic way to keep your brain active. The more students read, the stronger their skills are in all subject areas.
You must choose one project per book. Do not duplicate projects. This assignment will be due the Friday of the first week of school (September 5).
