DVEF BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

The Deer Valley Education Foundation (DVEF) will sponsor the 2024-2025 Battle of the Books for Deer Valley School District students. The reading incentive program is open to students in fifth and sixth grades. Students read books and come together to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of the books they have read. The competitions are lively academic competitions. Battle of the Books improves reading comprehension, builds vocabulary, and teaches teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Fifth and sixth-grade students will be teamed in groups of 3 (with a maximum of 12 teams per school) to compete and test their knowledge in three competitions during the 2024-2025 school year. There will be 3 rounds held throughout the school year in September/October 2024, December 2024, and February/March 2025. Each round has 4 books for students to read and teams earn points based on correctly answering questions about each round's books. The top team from each school will compete in a District Battle in March 2025, with the top team representing our District in an inter-district battle in May 2025.
