Battle of the Books
Battle of the Books is a program designed to encourage the sport of reading and to give recognition to those who like to read. Beginning November 15, 2011, children in 4th and 5th grade form teams with adult coaches. Over the course of approximately four months, the teams read a selection of six books chosen by the DeWitt District Library. In early March, the teams come together for a "battle", which consists of answering questions based on the books they have read.
