Battle of the Books
The statewide Battle of the Books program is designed to promote a love of reading among our students.
It encourages students to read a variety of books and remember information about the plots, characters, and settings of the books. Every question asked in a battle is answered by the title and author of the book and takes the form of: Name the book in which a horse and a boy are stranded on an island. It is a fun, academic-based competition that has been very successful in school districts throughout the state in encouraging students to read.
The team is coached by Mrs. Knapp. Please contact her at sknapp@kusd.edu with any BOB questions.
