Accelerated
The
Accelerated Reader Program is a special reading program available for all of our
students in grades 1-5. The student reads one of the accelerated books in
the library and takes a short comprehension test about the book. It is
recommended that the test be taken within a day or two of completing the chosen
book. If you have any questions about the Accelerated Reading
Program at our school you may contact Keri Perkins at
770-537-4352.
Accelerated
Reader (AR)
Incentive Program
We have started
rewarding prizes for points students make from their AR tests. We are stressing
accuracy and reading on their level. Students will be rewarded for points they
receive when they make 70 or above on tests. Students will be checked for
reading on their level too. They will not receive prizes for points gained from
tests that are not near their level. Deadline to make points for AR Day is April 11. Grade levels have different
goals for students to attend AR Day.
