Homework:
Continue to read for AR.
All students must take a one test by next Thursday.
Here is the letter I sent home for you to sign:
Welcome to Accelerated Reader!
You’ve taken the Star Test and we’ve
determined your reading level to be
__________
TO __________
You are expected to read two books per
marking period (honors students are required to read three). Due dates will be posted in the classroom –
they are 100% your responsibility. You must choose a book that is on your level
and not below or above. After reading the book, you must take a computerized
test that focuses on comprehension. You
can do that in the classroom or at the library (ask for permission to go). Tests will have 5, 10 or 20 questions on
them. Each AR test counts as a 100 point
test in the grade book…that’s massive.
Failing a test, missing a deadline or not taking a test at all will
affect your grade in a seriously negative way.
NOT ALL BOOKS ARE IN THE ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM.
In the HB library, you can search on the
catalog computers as Mrs. March showed you. In addition, AR books are labeled
with a red sticker on their spine. If
you’d prefer to get a book at your local library or elsewhere, make sure it’s
an AR book by searching www.arbookfind.com .
It is up to you to determine if the book you want to read is an AR book
– excuses will not be accepted!
Tips:
1.
Make
sure your book is definitely an AR book BEFORE reading it!
2. Do not wait until the due date to take the test!
3. Do not wait until the last minute to read the book!
4. Take notes as you read if you struggle with comprehension!
5. Pick books that you find interesting!

We understand the importance of AR and are aware of the above
guidelines.
