When students enroll in this battle, they commit to working with a school team to read books from the yearly Battle of the Books list. The list includes ten books of various levels of difficulty. Students can read the books independently, as part of a school group, or with an adult. Some titles are also available as audiobooks which is a great strategy as well. Mrs. Trippe, our Teacher Librarian, will have a limited number of books kids can borrow from the school or you can check them out from the Lafayette library. They are popular, so don’t wait until the last minute!
