How does ELBA work? Read READ and ENJOY an ELBA book. Books may be read independently by students. You may also read with a parent, sibling or friend. You can even listen to the audio book! A classroom teacher can read the book aloud to you as well. We hope you PAWS to enjoy a few of this year’s amazing ELBA books! Show What You Know Take a short quiz in the library, in your classroom or online. The online quizzes are available at bit.ly/kellyelba or at our Kelly Library website.
