Battle of the BooksBattle of the Books is a reading incentive program currently for fourth- and fifth-grade students. Students in each homeroom are divided into teams. Between October and May team members must collectively (not individually) read all twelve titles on the list. In the spring the teams "battle" each other in reading comprehension competitions until there is a school winner.
