GV 1ST BATTLE OF THE BOOKS FOR 3RD-5TH:
America's Battle of the Books is a reading incentive program for students in 3rd thru 12th grades. Students read books and come together in groups to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of the books they have read. The student competitions are usually similar to the TV series Family Feud or Whiz Kids styles of competitions. It's a fun way to build reading confidence and celebrate reading success!
We are planning to meet once a month during lunch prior to the March battle, with our first informational meeting on October 18 - if you missed it don't worry! There is still time to join.
