Battle of the Books

Reading Fun!

What is Battle of the Books?

Students in 3rd-8th Grade work in groups of 4-5 students. Their group reads 20 books combined. Typically, each student in a group will read 4 or 5 books and will prepare to answer any comprehension questions about that book at the competition. 

Each group of students will answer a question about one of the books by giving the book title and author.
