Battle of the Books (BOB & eBOB for short) is a reading incentive program for students in grades 4th – 8th. Students read books and come together to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of the books they have read. The competitions are similar in style to the TV series Whiz Kids or Family Feud, but the format of the competitions may vary depending on the needs, resources and personal preferences at the various school sites or at the regional/state competition levels.
