Battle of the Books
Read Books.  Do Battle.

Battle of the Books is a fun, academic-based trivia competition that
tests students’ book knowledge.  Students who participate enhance their literacy skills and read from a variety of book genres.  They practice skills,
such as identifying setting, character, plot, problem, goal, and resolution
and also working with higher level language techniques like summarizing
​and inferencing.

Each year, TCIS is represented by two teams of 4th/5th grade students.   
This year our middle school students will have the opportunity to participate in the 2025 Middle School Battle of the Books, happening on March 8th!
