Battle of the Books
6th Grade Books
New for the 2024-2025 school year!
Battle of the Books is a fun, optional program for sixth graders. Students form a team of one to three people and then as a team, they read the fifteen books that are on the Battle of the Books list. In late spring, Richmond Middle School will face off with the Marion Cross sixth grade teams for the Book Battle. This involves a Jeopardy-style game with the categories of: plot, genre, character, setting, and tricky. This friendly competition encourages students to explore books they might not otherwise read and builds community around shared reading experiences. The books for The Battle of the Books are available in the RMS library, on Sora, and through the Howe Library.
