Super Literacy Quiz Bowl
Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 are encouraged to participate in the 2022 Super Literacy Quiz Bowl (SLQB). Taking place during the PK Literacy Event, the SLQB is a trivia game in which students are quizzed on facts and details from a grade-specific list of books. Participation in this activity is optional!
In order to participate, students need to read at least 9 books from their grade's book list by the end of January 2022 and return a signed parent consent form. Teams will be randomly assigned, and competition will take place during the school day at an assembly. The Manhattan Beach public library has obtained multiple copies of the books on the SLQB reading lists. The books are displayed under the big staircase in the library and all can be checked out. The Pennekamp library has one copy of all the books on all three reading lists. The nonfiction and picture books are on reserve in the library, but copies of the chapter books can be checked out.
