Accelerated Reader
It is our goal to encourage our children to read in order to obtain specific information, as well as for pleasure. Our library is equipped with a variety of books for all interests and comprehension levels.
Our school uses Star Reading Assessment to determine reading levels for students from grades 1-8. We use a program called Accelerated Reader to allow students to choose books by certain authors, written in certain styles, or related to certain topics that interest them. At the same time, the program challenges them to read at appropriate levels. Each book is assigned a grade level based on vocabulary and complexity of the plot. Our students' progress is monitored by computer based comprehension tests taken in our library.
