Battle of the Books
  Each year lists of books based upon AkASL Criteria for Book Selection are compiled for grades three and four, grades five and six, grades seven and eight, and high school.  An attempt is made to vary the titles chosen as to genre and difficulty, so that readers encounter a broad range of books. All College Gate Cougars in grades 3-6 are encouraged to pick up a bookmark with the titles in the library and to read the books, discuss them, quiz each other on the contents, and then compete to represent our school at the District-wide competition in February.  **
 * Each year College Gate students in grades 3-6 have the opportunity to participate in Battle of the Books, an Alaskan motivational and comprehension reading program sponsored by the Alaska Association of School Librarians. The goals of the program are to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension and to promote academic excellence.
