This week, we will be starting Accelerated Reader, which is a fantastic reading program designed to get students excited about what they read. Each student took a pre-test this week to find out their individual strengths and weaknesses as a reader, and received a list of books that other students at the same level have enjoyed. Students will have thirty minutes each day to read a book at their level, and after they finish their book, they take a quiz about the book they just read testing their comprehension to receive a certain number of ‘bookworm points’. The class has agreed this week on a goal of 1,000 combined AR points as a class by the end of the semester—if they achieve this, I will throw a pizza party for the whole class the week before winter break!
