Some students may read 1 book and others may read all 10 books but most students should aim to read at least 2 books, though 3 or 4 books is most common, from now through the end of April. It is important that students read the book they have and submit their questions in a timely fashion so others on the team can also read the book giving the team the best chance at success.<\/p>\n<p>Each week we will have an in-school practice battle.
