What is the Battle of the Books?

The Battle of the Books is a reading competition designed to improve reading comprehension and build reading enthusiasm using a fun and unique competitive format.

Teams of 4-5 members each compete to demonstrate their knowledge of 10 pre-selected books from the current South Carolina Junior Book Awards List.

Teams compete until there is one winning team per grade level and then those teams compete to find a school winning team. The school winners will go on to compete in the district battle!
