Battle of the Books 2023-204

We are excited for another exciting year of Battle of the Books at Veterans Park!  If your child loves to read and enjoys friendly competition, this club is for you!  Each year, FCPS hosts a Battle of the Books competition among elementary schools in the district.  Participants compete in a “battle” in April over questions comprised from 12 different chapter books they have read throughout the year.  This is a voluntary reading incentive program open to students in grades 3-5.  Below are the books featured in this year’s competition:
