Accelerated Reading Update
Today I am sending you a record of the books/quizzes your child has completed
so far this year. The comprehension goal is 85% in this newer version of AR.
Please encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes every night.
Every student should take at least one AR test a week. This reading practice
is essential at this time of the school year.
An important note about Christmas will be sent home later this week. The note
will be in the green folder.
If you have any concerns about your child's progress and need a conference,
please send me a note or an email.
Have a great week!
Thanks,
Mrs. Dameron
