Class time is given for silent reading. Each quarter your child has a required number of points to earn by passing tests on the Accelerated Reader computer program. Children should check out a book on the Accelerated Reader list, read the book, then take an A.R. test on the book. Check with your child to find out the number of points required for the current quarter. It varies by reading teacher.
Students are responsible for completing the spelling workbook, and taking the final test.
This program, sponsored by Pizza Hut, is done in the fifth grade reading classes. It runs from October through February. Each month, students who achieve their classroom reading requirement earn a Book It pizza certificate. The questions are comprehension based where students answer the question by stating in which book a particular event occurs. In fifth grade science, students get a sampling of life, earth and physical science.
