Accelerated Reader
Dear Parents,
Your student should ALWAYS have an AR book and should read EVERY NIGHT.
Accelerated Reader is a program that measures student reading comprehension growth. Once they have finished a book, students take a quiz on it to demonstrate how much they remember of what they read. AR quiz grades are used for points in ELA classes.
We encourage all students to get an 80 percent or higher on their AR quizzes, and the library offers AR dollars to all students who achieve this. We give:
80%=1 AR Dollar
90%=2 AR Dollars
100%=3 AR Dollars
AR Dollars can be redeemed at the AR Store in the Library on Mondays. Students can purchase headphones, books, candy, book marks, and other goodies.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist your child's journey as a reader!
Sincerely,
Mr. Kimball
