Battle of the Books is a reading competition open to any 6th or 7th grader. Students will form teams of 2-4 readers. All teams will read the same set of books from December-March when we have a trivia style competition to test their knowledge of the books at the end of March.
Battle of the Books competition day is a lot of fun! The game is played tournament style using game buzzers. Many teams wear themed costumes or matching shirts.
