Nearly 100 School of Grammar students participated in Round 1 of the 8th Annual Friends of Education Battle of the Books competition today! The Battle of the Books is a voluntary, extracurricular reading incentive program in which students work in teams to read a list of books and then compete against other teams by testing their knowledge of the books they have read with lots of quick, trivia-style questions about the books. The main benefits of the program are that it gets children engaged with a variety of great literature, fosters a love of reading, and promotes a spirit of healthy competition. There were twelve books in Round 1 of the competition. The eight teams from Round 1 that answered the most trivia questions correctly will be reading more books and moving on to Round 2 in April. The top team from Round 2 will then go on to compete against other Friends of Education schools in May.

While we are excited for our teams moving to Round 2 of the competition, we are so proud of the other eight teams for all their hard work preparing for the first round. It’s incredible to see our students be passionate about reading and thrilled to share the knowledge they’ve accumulated! We hope that you’ll keep visiting the library and check out more books in second semester.

Thank you to Friends of Education for coordinating this interschool activity, School Librarian Mrs. Sommers Tillotson for organizing the ERA competition this year, and to our parent volunteers for assisting with the competition. Good luck to our teams advancing to Round 2! #GoGryphons
