11. Reading and AR
I recommend that parents encourage their child to read every night and when possible read with or to your child. Once we begin our Accelerated Reading program; nightly reading will be required, so it’s a good habit to start now if you don’t do so already.
September 12th your child will bring home their first set of library books for the year.
2nd Grade – 1st and 2nd nine weeks – 10 NF and 10 85%
3rd and 4th nine weeks – 12 NF and 12
*8 chapter books for the year* *at least 2 per nine weeks*
– 3-5 read aloud’s per nine weeks
**Goals are divided up so your student will be working towards a weekly goal depending on their reading level. They will need to test on 2-4 books per week (at 85% or higher)and this will be discussed during AR conferencing with each student individually.
Incentives During the School Year-
Bookmarks, extra recess, dress passes, mid year goal party, game time, certificates, free time for meeting weekly goal, etc.
