See the 2009-2010 Salem-Keizer Battle of the Bookmark of Titles 


 2009-2010 BOB Brochure with rules, timeline, titles, and permission form.

Battle of the Books fosters the following student outcomes:   increased listening skills, comprehension skills, read-aloud skills, study skills, and teamwork. It also fosters reading from a variety of literary genres. It promotes cooperation, school pride, shared-knowledge, social skills. It enhances the relationship between parents, teachers, and students through the shared reading experience. It bridges the student connection between the school, the home and libraries. Battle of the Books, BOB, is a natural accommodation for TAG students. It is also appropriate for students of varying learning abilities.

The "question asking" format that is integral to BOB is a research-based strategy to improve reading comprehension in students as indicated in the Report of the National Reading Panel in 1998 and in numerous subsequent reading studies.
