Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a reading competition designed to improve reading and comprehension while building enthusiasm for reading using a fun and unique competition format. Students will compete in teams to demonstrate their knowledge of 7 preselected books.

Please see Ms. Loy in August to sign up.  In the meantime, please begin reading the books!  All titles can be found in the WSHS library, the public libary, your local bookstore and/or Amazon! You MAY check them out over the summer.  See Ms. Loy if you have any questions.  

BoB Teams: 

• Teams may consist of no more than five members.
• Students are expected to create a team name and elect a team captain.
• Students are encouraged to keep a "Battle of the Books" log with notes/details about each book read with items such as title, author, setting, main characters, brief summary/plot.
