Students in Periods 3 and 6 should try to earn 10 points prior to the end of the 1st Marking Period in the Accelerated Reader program. We have discussed in great detail how to complete the daily reading log. Points are accumulated as students successfully complete a test on each book they read. For the first marking period, the objective is for students to be engaged in independent reading on a consistent basis as they learn how to use the program. Students in Periods 2 and 5 are required to read at least one Accelerated Reader book and successfully complete the multiple choice test that accompanies the book. Students in Periods 2, 3, 5 and 6 will be required to accumulate ten (10) points in Marking Periods 2-4.
