Hello Middle School Families!

It is going to be such a great year with lots of reading and growing to do! It is important to support our students in their growth as readers by encouraging them to continue to meet their A.R. Goals.

What is Accelerated Reading (A.R.)?

The accelerated reader program motivates our students to read more through engaging quizzes, setting goals throughout the year, and creating personalized reading. As students increase their reading volume, they develop greater reading stamina, word recognition, and language comprehension skills! Students will be asked to reach a point goal each trimester ranging from 25-40 points depending on the students reading level. Here in the middle school we are looking to advance our reading into texts that challenge the current goals and push us further into Literature. These goals MUST be met by the end of each trimester as they are a percentage of the students’ grade. On top of being a grade there us also a certain amount of competition as at the end of each trimester 3 students are awarded a “Super Reader” Award for having exceeded their goal! Let’s help set the students up for success by encouraging them to always be engaged readers and learners!
