ACCELERATED READER
Approximately every three weeks your child will be taking an Accelerated Reader test. Students will be selecting books based on their ZPD level. By reading at their level, students should be reading with success!
In addition to reading their AR books nightly , students will have to complete one thorough weekly Reading Reflection Letter. Please make sure your child is reading their novel for HW, and writing their weekly Reading Reflection Letter thoroughly. A model of a Reading Reflection Letter will be taught and presented in class for discussion, along with a scoring rubric for students to follow. Your child will be writing these R R Letters in their Reading Reflection Notebook.
Students sometimes like to read books they have at home instead of choosing from our school library. As long as they check that the book they want to read is an AR book, and it is within their range, they can read it.
Below is a link to AR Book Find. This website will help students determine if the book they want to read is a book they should read for their next AR test.
