Accelerated Reader®:
Grades 1 through 5 participate
in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program. This
year our library theme for AR is "Make Reading a Howling Success.”
AR is a program that tests a student’s memory on books they have read.
Each grade level has a section of the library that best suits their
needs and reading level. Each AR book is designated by a blue
dot for easy recognition by the student. After reading an AR
book, the student will take a multiple choice test on the computer
and earn points for each correct answer on the tests they pass.
Each student is encouraged to earn a minimum number of points, based
on grade level, as listed below. If they don’t make it one quarter,
they have the chance to start over and make the next one. It
has worked very well in the past, and we look forward to another great
year.
The goals for each quarter are:
Grade 1: 3 points
Grade 2: 5 points
Grade 3: 7 points
Grade
4: 10
points
Grade
5: 12
points
