Accelerated Reader - AR
This program is designed to help students build their comprehension skills. As Kindergarteners, they will have most of the stories read to them. Here are some things to keep in mind:
AR Points:
Point goals are:
points - brag tag
points - brag tag and bookmark
points - (due by May9th) Super Reader Celebration (Movie, Pizza, Drink and Treat)
Test Average Percent Correct must be at 80% or higher.
Class Goal is for everyone to take two test each week.
Books are worth 0.5 points. So it takes at least two books (at 100%) to make one point.
To reach the 30 points and be able to go to the Celebration, your child will need to take at least 60 test (if they make 100%). They may have to take more if they miss points when they test on a book.
Most of our stories have 5 questions. If they get all 5 correct, the they earn 0.5 points. If they miss 1, then they will earn 0.4 points.
Keep it fun.

This program is designed to help students build their comprehension skills. As Kindergarteners, they will have most of the stories read to them. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Read the book they want to test on many times.
- Ask them specific questions about each page.
- Write the title of the book and quiz number on the log sheet in the AR Folder.
- Quiz numbers can be found by logging into the Home Connect using your child's username and password.
- Home Connect https://hosted9.renlearn.com/85944/HomeConnect/Login.aspx
- Put the reading log in the front pocket of their daily folder. I will take it out when I check in folders each morning.
