They can be recognized as a class for meeting their goal. For the second semester kindergartners and first graders are integrated into the regular Accelerated Reader program and will take tests on the computer. Second through sixth grade students read Accelerated Reader books and take comprehension tests on the computer. Students can be recognized for the number of books they read, but most importantly for what they remember from reading an Accelerated Reader book. Mini-lessons are also taught to improve reading skills in all grades.
Recognition can happen twice a month and at the end of the grading periods.
Rewards are used, but the greatest rewards are readers who comprehend and enjoy reading. Click here for a list of Accelerated Reader Quizzes.
