Battle of the Books was a Chicago radio program. Today it is a reading incentive program in
elementary, middle and high schools across the country. All of the questions in the competition
begin with the words "In which book" and the correct answer is always the title and author of the
book. This program works at the individual school level as well as at the interscholastic and
district wide levels. Classroom teachers, reading specialists and library media specialists spend
many hours choosing books and writing questions for each year's battles.
