TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN READING...

Reading logs and book checks will be conducted during the following weeks...

READING LOG AND BOOK CHECK

TEACHER INFORMATION

2009 - 2010

Reading Log Info:  6^th & 7^th grade students are responsible for completed reading logs.  Once the students enter 8^th grade, they will no longer do reading logs because of the comprehensive “book studies” that they are required to do.  They will however be responsible for book checks as well as AR testing.  If you have a 6^th or 7^thgrade Reading TAKS class, the Reading Logs will be checked by their “regular” Reading teacher. 

The dates for the Reading Logs have already been set up for the 2009-2010 school year.  These dates are listed below, but as the school year moves along we can always meet to make adjustments in the event that we run into conflicts or problems. It is HIGHLY recommended that by the 2^nd progress report, you have entered an “on-going” grade to keep parents aware of whether or not Reading Logs are being turned in.  By doing so, you’ll need to adjust the “points worth” column and the readjust it for the report cards at the end of the nine week period.  The week #s listed below are the dates that we pass out the new reading log.

Below is information on the Accelerated Reader program.

AR Goals & Incentives

*PLEASE REVIEW INFO WITH STUDENTS BEFORE THEY BEGIN TESTING*

(AR testing may begin the week of September 21^st)

(FINAL DRAFT)

2009 – 2010

1.  Students WILL BE REQUIRED to take a minimum number of AR tests throughout the school year.  Grades will be recorded for AR testing as follows:  one the first quarter; two the second quarter; two the third

      quarter; and one the fourth quarter.  We are only requiring one book the first and fourth quarter due to

      lack of library time.  For the first and fourth quarter, the highest AR test grade will be recorded AS A

      DAILY GRADE.  For the second and third quarter, the highest two AR test grades will be recorded AS

      TWO SEPARATE DAILY GRADES.  If a student chooses not to take a quiz because he/she hasn’t read a

      book, then he/she will receive a ZERO as a daily grade. 

2.  Students must pass a test at their level with a 70% or better in order to have their name put in for a drawing.  The more they test, the more times their name gets put in for the drawing.

3.  Out of all of the “qualifying” students whose names were put in for the drawing, two students per grade

      level will be randomly selected for the AR prize each quarter.  The “testing dates” are highlighted in yellow.  These dates do NOT correspond exactly to the nine weeks/quarter dates on our school calendar because we need a week’s time to have the reports run and grades entered.  The prizes “per quarter” are as follows:
