Accelerated Reader • You must read books within your reading range based on STAR testing • Refer to goal setting chart for your goal (don’t lose it!) • Mid-Term Grade • 20% of your grade • 4 points of your overall AR point goal must be non-fiction!
More on AR… • You must get a 60% or better to get any points- passing is a 60%! • I do give extra credit for going over your goal! 10 points for going over by 5 or more. • I do not apply points to the next quarter. • You may take an AR test in language arts class only! • You may only go to the library once you’ve past an AR test! If you want to switch your book, you must do it on your own time!!!
DO… • Read every night for at least 20 minutes! • Ask for suggestions/recommendations if you are having trouble finding a good book. • Find a buddy to read the same book with, so you can talk about it! • Talk to Mr. Hales about new books/tests!
DO NOT… • DO NOT take a test on a book you have not finished reading! • DO NOT read a book from last year- I WILL NOT reset the system for you to take the test again! • DO NOT take a test in any other classroom or the library- you may only take a test in language arts. • DO NOT take a test on a book you did not read, even if you’ve seen the movie!
