Accelerated Reader (A.R.)

The Accelerated Reading program continues 
to be an integral part of our fifth grade 
curriculum in all subject areas.  Students are 
expected to read A.R. books both at home and 
school during the school year.

In fifth grade, students will be setting their 
own individual A.R. goals. Students are 
required to read at lest one A.R. book each 
month that is at or above their reading level.  
The average of their monthly quizzes will be 
taken as a grade at the end of each nine 
weeks.  I
t is the student's responsibility to 
make sure they meet the requirements.  If at 
the end of each month a student hasn't taken 
an A.R. quiz, a grade of 50% will be taken for 
that month  They may take tests in the 
computer lab or during class when free time 
allows.

Your child's teacher will go over goal setting 
as it pertains to amount of points they hope to 
achieve as we move through the year.
