Accelerated Reader (AR)

We as a school are committed to students being proficient in and have a love of reading. As part of thisgoal, we use AR as an incentive to increase the number of books being read, which then leads to improved reading ability.

All students have the opportunity to read books, and then they are able to test on them. The tests in AR are multiple choice and cover content from the book. There is also an opttion on most tests for the student to have the test spoken to them. This allows for multiple learning styles. Each test earns the student points.

Each month the student from each grade level who has the highest number of points is recognized and awarded. Every two weeks we have the AR prize cart go around and students who reach point goals are awarded.

Our top award is a limousine read and lunch with Dr. Diaz at the end of the year.
