Oregon Battle of the Books
Deadline to register November 15

Oregon students in grades 3-12 are getting ready to do battle! Young 
readers all over the state are forming reading battalions! They are 
armed with 16 great books and their weapon is knowledge.

The Oregon Battle of the Books is a statewide reading motivation and 
comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School 
Libraries. Students, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality 
literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. The 
goals of the program are to encourage and recognize students who enjoy 
reading, broaden reading interests, increase reading comprehension, and 
promote academic excellence. The program pairs reading with the spirit 
of sports competition which encourages reading among students of all 
levels.

The OBOB registration deadline for participating schools is November 
15th. All registration information can be found on the OBOB wiki 
<http://oboblsta.pbworks.com> <http://oboblsta.pbworks.com> along with 
2012-2013 title lists for grade level divisions 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12, a 
handbook of rules & procedures, and other related resources.

To see if schools in your district/area have already registered for 
OBOB, a participant spreadsheet can be found on the front page of the 
wiki <http://oboblsta.pbworks.com> <http://oboblsta.pbworks.com> .

Schools not fully registered by November 15 will be unable to 
participate in the regional tournaments in spring 2013.
