Book Club Information 

The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl ("HRRB") is a unique reading competition offered to 4th and 5th graders in Georgia. The competition was created by Helen Ruffin, a media specialist in Dekalb County. She served on the selection committee for the Georgia Children's Book Award nominee program.

This is a leadership opportunity to represent Ison Springs in a county competition. It is important that students commit to one meeting per week in the beginning with an increase in the weeks before the competition. Students should commit to reading all ten competition books.  Five students from the club will compete against students across Fulton County in a Jeopardy-style competition. The questions will cover a range of book topics including characters, plot, and theme.

Only 5 of the Book Club students will be chosen to go to the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. The students that will complete will be the ones who can answer the most questions about the 10 competition books. 

The reading club gave out forms in September and we have started our club. Please feel free to join next year by filling out a form at the beginning of the year. The club is open to any 4th and 5th grader that wants to join.
