Independent Reading and testing on the Accelerated
Reader Program (AR) will be greatly emphasized in our classroom. It will be
how our monthly Reading Clubs are formed each month beginning at the end of
September or October depending on when the school system is up and running. At
the end of each month photos will be taken and clubs formed and you as parents
will receive the photo newsletter. This is a great way to track a child's
individual reading and comprehension levels each month. The ultimate goal is
for each child to push themselves to higher levels of success as the school
year progresses. This has been very successful in my class year after year.
Rewards are also earned for making any of the Clubs each month. To be a member
you have to have read and tested on a minimum of 7 books and received an
overall comprehension score of 70-100% level. All children can read on levels
that are comfortable for them to begin with and then gradually raise their
reading levels throughout the year. This is also the year that a child must
pass the CRCT in order to pass into the fourth grade. This AR program is a
great way to help them become better readers. Encourage them to join in each
month and work hard, they will reap the benefits of their labor!
