Battle of the Books

The purpose of the Battle of the Books program is to encourage reading by all students at all levels. Students, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints by prominent authors. The game format creates interest and excitement in reading. Through the fun and excitement of the competition, students improve reading skills, mature in their choices of reading materials, and acquire a broader knowledge base. Even during the height of the competition, students and coaches should remember that the goal is to READ, not necessarily to win!

All those participating must be a full-time student attending a public or independent school for which they are enrolled for the current school year.
