Battle of the Books
Students are encouraged to read from a list of books called the Louisiana Young Readers’ Choice nominees.  These are books recommended by the Louisiana State Library.  Reading these books is OPTIONAL and parents should help their children pick out the titles that are the best fit for their own kids. 
  • Read THREE of the titles:
    • Election Day:  Students who read on at least THREE of the titles by (TBD in January) will be allowed to vote for their favorite book on a real voting machine on TBA.  
  • Read FIVE of the titles:
    • Battle of the Books: Students who read at least FIVE of the titles by early April (Date: TBD) will be allowed to join a team for the Battle of the Books (BOB).  Students will compete on teams against each other school-wide.  The winning team from LOM will compete against other area schools in a district tournament.
    • Once you complete 5 titles, have your ELA teacher email Mrs. Jones.  You will receive a special award at Awards Day, we will post on social media and our website, and we will announce your name on our morning/afternoon announcements.
Students can choose to either take the AR test on the book (pass at 60%) OR choose to do book talks.  CLICK HERE to learn about book talks. Once complete, let your ELA teacher know and show her the tests or book talks.

​40 Book Challenge this year and read from a variety of genres.  They can read ANY books they would like to read as long as they read the required number in each genre. Once a student finishes the challenge, he/she must show the ELA teacher.  The ELA teacher will email Mrs. Jones and she will call you to the library to  take your picture for the website/social media, and announce your name over the intercom. This year's deadline is TBD.
