Dear Parents, I recommend that your child should read at least 15 min. daily( this includes you reading to your child). Your child must take three Accelerated Reader Tests (on the computer in school) each marking period. After your child has received a 90% or better on an A.R. test they should read a book with a high reading level. Our goal is to "Accelerate " them through reading. Your child must read and take 2 A.R test 1st mk pd. 3 A.R test the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th marking periods. In order to keep track of their thinking your student should use their Monthly Work Station Portfolio. This will enable them to work on fluency, read informational and narrative text, and think within, beyond, and about the text. Enhance skills taught in small groups. A.R. DEADLINES: Mk. Pd. 1 : September 28, 2012 October 24, 2012 Mk. Pd. 2: November 13, 2012 December 11, 2012 January 18, 2013 Mk Pd. 3: February 13, 2013 March 6, 2013 April 5, 2013 Mk. Pd.4: April 20, 2013 May 9, 2013 June 7, 2013 The A.R. test are reading test grades. Keep Reading !!! Thank you, Mrs. Hart |
