CANE RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY

PROJECT LIT BOOKCLUB

We are a national, grassroots LITeracy movement, a network of dedicated teachers and students who are committed to increasing access to culturally relevant books and promoting a love of reading in our schools and communities. We work together to:

• Empower students as READERS and LEADERS in their school and community.

• Host monthly or quarterly Project LIT Book Clubs.

• Flood our schools and communities with high-quality, culturally relevant books.

• Champion & celebrate reading daily.

• Inspire and support one another through sharing of lesson plans, resources, strategies, and book.recommendations.

• Create opportunities for students to connect with peers around the country.

• Advocate for policies & practices that will help our students become lifelong leaders.

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

B.O.B is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in grades 3-12. The purpose is simply to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with peers. A typical "Battle" is a full day tournament or game, like College Bowl or Family Feud, in which students' teams earn points by answering questions about the books on the book lists. Our team practices each day before school begins.
