accelerated reader
Accelerated Reader is an important supplement to our reading development. It reinforces skills we are learning and builds on skills and words we already know. Your child should be checking out at least one A.R. book daily. Listen to your child read. Quiz your child at the end of the story to see if s/he understood what was read.
At school your child will take a short quiz for points. Most books are worth .5 points, and some (mostly chapter books) are worth 1 whole point. Every 25 points your child earns a soda coupon, which is cashed in during lunch. One hundred points achieved earns him/her a soda coupon, a certificate, and a gift care to a book store, as well as, a great sense of accomplishment.
In third grade, your child is required to reach 15 points each quarter. If the 15 points are obtained, your child will be given a test grade of 100%. Any points earned over 15 will be bonus points. Ten points will be dropped for every point that is below 15. For example, if your child only reaches 14 points, s/he will be given a test score of 90%. If your child only reaches 13 points, s/he will be given a test score of 80%, etc.
Please work with me and your child to make him/her an accelerated reader!
Our Accelerated Reader program is web-based, which means you will be able to access it from home. However, students will only be able to take tests at school from 8am to 4pm.
