Mary has been invited to join our school's junior battle of the books, a program created to prepare them for Battle of the Books, a competitive reading club at our school and region/state. Sarah has been running the program at our school with great success. The kids are reading lots of books each year and learning about sportsmanship, competition, and teamwork. Mary has already read one book and tested on it. It was a cute story I hadn't read before by Jon Scieszka. Now she is reading Sarah, Plain and Tall, which she is enjoying. I love her excitement and it's a fun motivation for reading new genres (we've been reading a lot of mysteries around here).
