Reading Counts

Students in the elementary and high school are using Reading Counts, a computer based quiz program that is only available at school.  Students in grades 2-6 are given monthly Reading Counts points goals to achieve.  If a student achieves his or her goal by the last school day of the month he or she will be rewarded with Book Break Time.  Book Break Time is a break from class doing different activities each month.

 

Reading Minutes Books

Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade are asked to read a certain amount of minutes per month on their own or with an adult.  This time helps them to gather book knowledge and grow as a reader.  As the students progress they may move up to doing Reading Counts quizzes instead of Minutes Books.
