Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 are encouraged to participate in the Super Literacy Quiz Bowl (SLQB). Taking place during the PK Literacy Event (February 5 to 26, 2018), the SLQB is a trivia game in which students are quizzed on facts and details from a grade-specific list of 13 books. Participation in this activity is optional!
In order to participate, students need to read at least 10 books from their grade's book list by mid-January 2018 and return a signed parent consent form. Teams will be randomly assigned, and competition will take place during the week of February 12 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. The Pennekamp library has at least one copy of all the books on the three reading lists. The nonfiction and picture books are on reserve in the library, but copies of the chapter books are circulating.
