COME ON IN AND “CHECK IT OUT!”
WHAT IT IS:
Accelerated Reader is a reading program that encourages your child to read a book (or have it read to him/her) and then be tested on it. The tests are on the computers throughout the school. By answering 60% or more of the questions correctly, your child will receive points based on the length of the book and its reading level.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
An Accelerated Reader Book search is available on this web site (AR Book List). Parents and students may use the search to find book titles or to search by reading level. We now have over 4,700 titles that children at Glenvar can select. Once your child has completed a book, he/she can take a test using a computer in the library or classroom. Opportunities are available every day during the school year. Points earned will be accumulated and will be used for awards.
We are very pleased with the results of our students participating in the AR program and look forward to a new year with new rewards. Of course, our ultimate goal for our students is the reward of READING in itself, as a life-long pleasure.
