Based on the reading range given by the STAR Reading Test, students will be assigned Accelerated Reader point goals.
Each book that students read and test on is worth a certain number of points, and the AR point goal is the total number of points a student needs to earn in a 9 weeks time frame.
Students will earn points based on the number of questions they answer correctly on the AR test. Therefore, students will not earn the total number of points possible on a test if they do not answer 100% of the questions correctly. In order to meet their AR goals for the 9 weeks, students need to earn their assigned number of AR points. Students will also conference with me about their progress toward their AR goals.
AR will count as a test grade each 9 weeks.
You can help tremendously by reading your child nightly. Most AR books need to be read for a least two nights in a row before students are ready to test on them.
Ask your child questions about the books they are reading. Non-fiction books are difficult.
AT THE END OF EACH 9 WEEKS, WE WILL HAVE A PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR AR GOALS.
