Welcome to Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) at Beverly Cleary
Register NOW
Now is the time for interested 3rd-8th graders to register for OBOB 2024/2025!
To promote inclusivity and allow more students to participate, you will only need to register your interested student this year. As in the past, you can submit names of other students that your student is interested in competing with, however, students can sign up this year without first finding a team.
While teammate requests cannot be guaranteed, the BCS OBOB Planning Team will work hard to ensure that all students are matched with their requested teammates and that prior-year teams remain intact.
Why are we so excited about this change?
It will take the pressure off of parents and students to find others to make a team before registration - there may be an interested friend you didn’t know was interested!
It will be an easy way for groups of four to identify someone interested in filling the coveted fifth spot. Most importantly, while we cannot guarantee, we hope that this will allow all interested students to participate in the BCS 2025 OBOB Tournament.
Note: All participating students must be registered via this survey by a parent or guardian by November 15, 2024. Once formed, each team must identify its own volunteer coach.
A member of the OBOB Planning Committee will be by the basketball hoops at drop off and pick up on Wednesday, November 6 to answer questions that any student or grown-up may have.

What is OBOB?
OBOB is a voluntary reading program for students in 3rd through 12th grades across the state of Oregon. Participants form teams of 4-5 students, read books from the 24/25 official OBOB title list, and compete to prove their knowledge and comprehension of characters and events in the books. Teams can compete at the school, regional and state level. OBOB is managed and supported by parent volunteers. All Beverly Cleary 3rd-8th grade students are eligible to participate.
