Battle of the Books (BOB) is a regional competition where students form teams to read and study a specific set of novels over several months. They then participate in "Jeopardy-style" tournaments at various levels, starting at the building level and progressing to district, regional, and super regional competitions. The primary purpose of BOTB is to foster students’ love of reading by introducing them to books by acclaimed authors.
Their participation will:
help increase reading comprehension
promote academic achievement and teamwork.
