Book Blitz Jr
Book Blitz Jr. is a Canyons School District literacy competition for 3rd – 5th graders designed to encourage reading outside of the school curriculum. Students read books from a selected list, write summaries, form teams, and compete on Battle Day (usually in March), using their collective knowledge of the content of the books to answer questions! When school starts in the fall, we’ll share more information on how to get involved. In the meantime, your students can have fun preparing now by reading from the 2023-24 Book Blitz list. Happy summer reading!
