Points are earned based on the complexity of the book and the score of the test. As the children earn points they collect beads as part of a necklace they will take home at the end of the year. In addition children are recognized as they earn levels of achievement by earning points and reading more difficult material. This program is made possible from a grant. The result of this program is excitement about books and reading.
Children talk about books.
They share their test results. They make personal goals. Reading is important at our school. Each year we celebrate Dr. Seuss birthday by inviting families to Read Aloud Night. This event finds families in a cozy living room setting in our gym, eating cookies and listening to guest readers share their favorite books.
