McAuliffe Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a motivational reading program that consists of reading books, practicing as a team, and having a friendly “battle” of teams in the spring. This year’s Battle of the Books will be open to 3rd through 5th grades!

To become a Battle of the Books participant, a student must have parent permission, and make a commitment to read at least half of the books (usually 4-5 books per person) for the grade level by the middle of March. Goals of the program are to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, and promote academic excellence.
