Our elementary school does the Battle of the Books for students that are in 3rd grade or older. It's a program that gets students excited about reading and then there's a friendly competition to see which team know most about the books that were read. Rease was so excited to be able to be apart of it this year and she worked so hard reading all the books on the list. 3rd and 4th graders have a list of 25 books and 5th and 6th graders have a different list. The kids are put into teams and each kid on the team is supposed to read 5 books and then as a team they should have all the books read before the competition begins. Then as a team they are asked questions and compete against another team. It's super fun and all the kids get so into it and excited! I volunteered for one of the days of the competition and it was so fun to be there and watch the kids and their teams compete and know so much about so many different books. It's a great program and I was so glad to be there and see the excitement everyone had about reading!
