The My BOB Team app is designed to prepare students for Battle of the Books competition. Students can practice title and author matching, test their comprehension of individual books, and practice with “In which book” questions. Their statistics are recorded so they will always know how they are doing. They can also compete each week against other students in their grade level with our Weekly Competition. Coaches/parents can add and delete students, send messages to the team, and monitor students’ progress by viewing their statistics. The resources provided are created for use with the North Carolina Battle of the Books (BOB) program. Grade levels available are: Elementary (4th & 5th grade), Middle School (6th – 8th grades), and High School (9th – 12th grades).
