Read Up is an independent reading program. Students read books on their own and take tests on the computers in their classrooms. The tests are from 5 to 20 questions long. Students can then spend the points they earned at the end of the school yearat a schoolwide student auction. The Read Up program has proved to be an academic boon at Lovettsville.
Students are eager to read, read more, and gain experience by taking the tests.
This has helped to raise the reading test scores of Lovettsville students. Read Up is a program that helps to challenge readers at all levels. There are tests on books from beginning to college levels. Once a child is reading they can choose which books to read according to their interests and skill level. We continue to add new tests to the system each year, thanks to the Lovettsville PTA and Lovettsville Lions Club.
