This test includes basic comprehension questions. • Students will be encouraged to reach a goal determined by their teacher each nine weeks. • Students will have a comprehension goal of 80% correct and a points goal. • Incentive parties each nine weeks will be awarded to students meeting their goals.

  15. Resources for AR books • Accelerated Reader books can be checked out in our school library. • About 90% of the books in the library are AR books. AR books have a leveled color code on the binding of the book. All other books do not. • A list of AR books can be accessed on our school website under the heading “Media” - click on files. • The Onslow County Public Library has a wide variety of AR books – just check our school list first to make sure we have an AR test for specific books.
