[Stacie Lauro]

Can you please clarify for me Zara. Do you have to do the steps in order? Can I use books to complete each step that I have previously read or do I start from the day I entered? If I choose easy as my level how does that differ from the other levels of difficulty? Thank you very much!

[Zara's Corner]

Hi Stacie,

You don't have to do the steps in order.

The easy level you only need to read 3 books in total to complete the challenge.

I think I'd like to try. I'll try for medium. Zara thought you'd like to know. Finished Battle of the Books at school. This is the first year I had students read ll 20 books. In fact three of them did it. We placed 26 out of 208 schools. There are multiple schools in each place except 1, 2, 3 (2 were in 3rd). I think we did well.

Linda placing 26th out of 208 schools is a wonderful achievement. You and your students should be really proud of yourselves.
