The reading requirement outside of our classroom reading will work on a point system.   Students will 
choose any chapter book they wish for independent reading including books from the library, home, or 
the classroom library that are 3rd grade level or higher.  Students will have the option of taking an AR 
computer quiz on the book if the book is an AR (Accelerated Reader) book, or writing a 1 page 
summary book report  if the book is not an AR book.  AR books are automatically assigned computer 
generated points based on the reading level of the book and the number of questions answered 
correctly on the quiz.  Non AR books will earn points based on the following scale:

Book Report Point Scale

100 pgs. = 2 pts.
200 pgs = 3 pts.
300 pgs. = 4 pts.
400 pgs. = 5 pts.

Students will have 9 weeks to complete 10 points.   Those with 10 accumulated points by the 
designated date  will participate in a special AR Reward. The points will also be counted as ONE reading 
grade within the 9 week period.  10 pts = 100, 9 pts. = 90, 8 pts. = 80, etc...

My goal is to see students spending more time independently reading!  They are not required to 
choose books of different genres.  They should choose books they are interested in reading, and be 
reading more pages.  The kids are excited about this point system, and I think we will see them reading 
more!
