Friendly but competitive reading returns to SD57
PRINCE GEORGE – The annual reading competition “Battle of the Books” between School District 57 (SD57) schools was hosted today at École Lac des Bois. The friendly competition sees students from grade 5 to 7 team up in trios to see who among the groups knows the most about a collection of 12 books Red Cedar Book Awards, which features all Canadian authors.
President of the Prince George Teacher-Librarians’ Association Tina Cousins explained the Battle of the Books was created by a group of teacher-librarians 25 years ago, and seeing how excited students get over it has been fantastic to see.
