Battle of the Books is a national reading incentive competition sponsored by Gallaudet University through its Youth Programs office. Students will read books and come together in groups to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of the books they’ve ready. The purpose of Battle of the Books is to promote literacy, the spirit of academic competition, good sportsmanship and encourage critical thinking skills. There are three different divisions that students will be placed into based on their reading level. This program is offered to students in grades 5-8 who are Deaf or hard of hearing and receiving special education services.
