What is BoB?
Battle of the Books (BoB) is a quiz bowl style competition for students in grades 3-12. When students enroll in this program, they commit to working with a school team to read all of the books from the Battle of the Books list. The list includes ten to twelve books of various levels of difficulty. Students can read the books independently, as part of a school group, or with an adult. This is a free program.
The goal of Battle of the Books is to provide opportunities for students to work together in a group for a common goal, expose students to award-winning pieces of literature, and encourage a high volume of reading both inside and outside of the classroom. Yes, it is a competition, but the purpose is to foster a love of reading!
-
Team registration starts in October. Ideally, teams should be registered by November 13 to receive Practice Questions and other updates.
-
Each participant is encouraged to read all the books on their grade level book list.
-
School Teams compete in February, before Spring Break.
-
District competition is Saturday, March 28, 2026.
-
Front Range Regional competition is Saturday, April 18, 2026.
