Students are encouraged to read 30 minutes each evening. Students should select books that are included on the AR list so that points can be generated. Read-Up is 15% of the total Language Arts grade. The following chart shows read-up points and the corresponding grade: 15 - - - - A 14-11 - - B 10- 6 - - C 5 - 3 - - D 2 - 0 - - F Read-Up grades will be generated in the following manner: 15=100 7= 83 14= 93 6= 81 13= 91 5= 80 12= 90 4= 78 11= 88 3= 75 10= 87 2= 74 9= 86 1= 50 8= 85 0= 0 This next chart may help you and your child gain the necessary points to keep his/her grade average up. This will give students some direction in accumulating points during the six weeks. Not all students read the more difficult books with high points values, but this chart shows that everyone can gain the 15 points required to get the A on read-up.
