Yeti book competition

The YETI Book Competition is an optional activity available to 4th and 5th graders across the school district. We meet weekly starting in January. The Bellingham School District Librarians carefully select a range of content appropriate novels from the Sasquatch and Young Readers Choice lists. We make sure to include various genres with diverse characters and a broad reading level range, making it possible for 4th and 5th graders to read from the same list of books. Place the titles on hold at our school library, the public library, on Libby and in Epic. (None of this year’s list is on Epic yet…) One title is available in Learning Ally this year Village Books has the Yeti list if you want to buy the titles and support local business at gift giving times.

At Wade King, the emphasis is on fun, cooperative game playing using knowledge of the nominated books. The competition aspect is important for some students, but not the focus at Wade King. Participating in the culminating competitions is absolutely optional. However, once committed to a team, students are expected to follow through.
