Battle of the Books

Welcome to Battle of the Books 2023! This program is for Birmingham Public School students in fourth and fifth grade and is designed to encourage reading. Students form teams with an adult coach, read from a selected list of five books, and then participate in a contest where they compete with other teams by answering trivia questions based on the books. The actual Battle will take place at Groves High School on Saturday, March 18, 2023. 

Congratulations to our winning teams!

First Place: Dragon Readers from Harlan

Second Place: Dog-Eared Destroyers from Greenfield, Pembroke, and BCS

Third Place: Team Seuss from Pierce

We’ll see you in 2024! Kickoff is usually in December and the actual Battle is usually in February or March. Updates will come in Fall of 2023.
