ACCELERATED READER
PROGRAM
The Accelerated Reader Program is a supplemental reading program designed
to encourage students to read books on their reading level. The students
select a book from specific lists to read. After reading the book,
they take a multiple choice computerized test which will have either five
or ten questions depending on the difficulty of the book. They receive
immediate reinforcement by seeing their scores along with the questions missed
and the correct answers. The points accumulate throughout the year. Each
classroom is networked and has at least one computer available for students
to use with this program
This year Dudley has started
the Accelerated Reader points program for the first and second grades.
Our theme is "Top
Dogs in Reading ". Each time a student passes a
test with a score of 80% they will receive one Scooby snack and 1sticker
for their doghouse. As students continue to test on their books they
will receive the following rewards:
