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.
