Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reading is a crucial part of our reading curriculum. Each child will receive a reading goal or "point goal" every nine weeks. This goal will be individualized for each child based on his or her STAR Reading test data. Each time your child reads a book, he or she will take the AR test on the computer. All students are expected to maintain an 85% or higher average correct on the tests that they take. You will receive weekly reports to keep you informed of your child's progress towards his or her AR goals. Please keep in mind that the “point goal” is based on individual reading levels, and not all students’ goals will be the same. New point goals will be assigned at the beginning of each nine weeks.
In order to receive an AR pin and attend our grade-level AR party at the end of the nine weeks, the student must have met their personal goal AND have an 85% or higher average correct on AR tests within that grading period.
Please encourage your child to read every day to reach these goals. Make sure your child reads at least 20 minutes each night. Students will receive time for individual reading in class as well.
