"Where Learning is an Adventure!"


Reading Invitational

The Fayette County Reading Invitational, formerly known as the Battle of the Books, is for fourth and fifth graders. Avid readers in these two grades are provided an opportunity to expand their reading interests and skills by independently reading  a selection of books from the grade-appropriate lists. Students will form teams and compete for the opportunity to represent Cleveland in the county-level competition in the spring. Several copies of the individual books are available for checkout in the Media Center.
