Dear Jennifer- Battle of the Books in two seconds or less_ It is a reading incentive program where students (usually in grade level groupings like 3/4 or 5/6) read the same titles (from 8 to 12) in a set amount of time ( around 8 weeks). They are divided into teams (usually 4 students. At the end of the reading time a tournament is held in which the teams do "battle" to see who can answer correctly the most questions about the books - sort of like a College Bowl. ______________________________________ Jamie Murphy Boston, Librarian Davis Joint Unified School District Birch Lane Elementary, 1600 Birch Ln.
