Children can choose to read any of the books on their year group list to take home and
read as part of the battle. There is a list in each classroom for the children to sign their
chosen book both in and out. There is also a class waiting list if a book proves to be
particularly popular. The children must then collect a book review template from their
class teacher and hand it back in to receive a sticker on their book mark. The children are
not limited to the given spaces on their bookmark and can of course read more books if
they wish. Happy reading!
