What's Battle Of The Books???

[TaylorHicksRocks]

Battle Of The Books is where a bunch of Kids all read the same 10 books as many as they can in this case they had 6 weeks.....They are in small groups of anywhere from 3 to 5....The teacher who is in charge then asks questions and they have to know the book as well as the author....If they don't know it then anyone can answer if they do they get more points......There were 25 kids who were going to participate but 2 were ill so one group just had 3...Jonathon's group had all 5 and the group with 3 came in 2nd place I was very impressed with them.....

That's a very good way to make kids get interesting in reading! I remember I didn't like to read too much when in junion high nor in high school. Now that I'm grown I love reading. I would have loved to be involved in something like that when as a kid!

I have to wait a year or two before re-reading a novel. The kids got guts!
