Accelerated Reader Requirements
1. 1st quarter 3 books required. 2nd-4th quarter 4 books required.
2. Books read and tested need to be at your reading level or need to be approved by me if they aren't on level.
3. Each book read and tested on will earn up to 5 points. A score of 70% or higher is considered passing and you will receive 10 points for passing the test. Failure to read/take tests on the required amount of books will result in a zero.
4. If there is not an AR quiz over a book, you may complete a "one-pager" report. Your score on the one-pagers will be based on analysis and critical thinking of the novel.
5. All AR books tested must be books read during the summer of 2017 or current 6th grade year.
6. You may only take AR tests in class or in Library if Mrs. Edman is present.
7. If you read an additional 2 books per semester (1st quarter 9 and 2nd quarter 10) you will get to participate in our reading incentive party.
