My Project

Elementary school is all about learning to read as well as learning to love to read. Peer competitions on comprehension challenge and inspire students to increase their knowledge and be the best in their grade. The Idaho Battle of the Books program offers kids the chance to compete with reading, both things they enjoy. The program's book lists change each year, offering a variety of subject matters and genres.

Kids love the program so much, most participate two years in a row!

Their younger siblings can't wait to grow up to 4th grade so they can do it too. Many 3rd graders read the previous years' books, just to practice. Please assist my students' joy in this program by contributing to my project. Remember, if you enjoy reading as a child, you'll be a better employee as an adult.
