"Battle of the Books" event is an opportunity for students to read eight librarian-selected titles, think about and discuss them, and then answer questions on their reading in a game format. This ECA is open to 4th and 5th grades at Concordia!
During our ECA time, you will have a chance to discuss the books you are reading, practice your understanding with fun quizzes and games and continue to develop a love of reading in a fun environment.
This year, Battle of the Books will occur on April 18, 2025. Shanghai American School - Puxi Campus is this year's host school. Schools throughout the Shanghai and Hangzhou regions are expected to participate.
Ideally, teams of students gather to share their love of reading and have a good time. Teams participate in book activities; have lunch together; discuss the books read; and answer questions in the final battle to determine the winning team! The game format creates interest and excitement in reading. Through the fun and excitement of the competition, students improve their reading skills, mature in their choices of reading materials, and acquire a broader knowledge base.
The competition is fun, but the event's goal is to read.
