ACCELERATED READER INFORMATION
Our class goal for the Accelerated Reader Program is for each student to
successfully complete at least one AR test each week.
We ask that you help your child prepare for the weekly AR test by reading
the library book together, and asking your son/daughter questions about the
story--characters, events...Download the AR form on the MHR Library website
and assist your child in filling it out. Please make sure your child brings
the library book and AR form to school on Friday morning.
We look forward to helping your children become enthusiastic readers!
