40 Book Challenge
We are encouraging students to participate in the
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 needs to complete THIS FORM. Tell your ELA teacher and they will have Mrs. Jones call you to the library to take your picture for our Reading Hall of Fame and for social media. Please let Mrs. Jones know if you need help finding a book! 40 Book Challenge Log |
Battle of the Books
Once you read FIVE books, fill out THIS FORM and then tell your ELA teacher to email Mrs. Jones.
Students can 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 can help their children pick out the titles that are the best fit for their own kids if their children want to participate in this optional challenge.
- Read THREE of the titles:
- Election Day: Students who read on at least THREE of the titles by early January. Students will be allowed to vote for their favorite book on a real voting machine in January.
- Read FIVE of the titles:
- Battle of the Books: Students who read at least FIVE of the titles by mid-February will be allowed to join a team for the Battle of the Books (BOB). Students will compete on teams against each other school-wide in March. The winning team from LOM will compete against other area schools in a district tournament on TBD.
The MESH Society
MESH is an optional reading challenge. Students who choose to participate should read ONE book from EACH category.

Mrs. Jones will call you to the library to take your picture to post in the Reading Hall of Fame online and on social media.
