Accelerated Reader
7th Grade students and 8th grade students have these same goals each quarter.
10 points for regular students per quarter
15 points for Honors students per quarter.
If you want to know how many AR points a particular book is worth, click AR BookFinder and find out! Are you reading a book not found in AR BookFinder? Don't even worry about it! Show me the book and I'll estimate its point value. The main thing is to find a book you like and read it! These books aren't going to read themselves!
Don't forget to check out the StudySync Library!
Do not take tests on books you didn't actually read. Also, be prepared for me to ask you about the books you've tested on. Students cheating on AR (having other students take tests for you, testing on books you didn't read, etc.) will receive an N in citizenship, a parent phone call, and possibly even greater discipline. Don't cheat; the truth will come out and it's just not worth it.
Our school library is full of excellent books and my classroom is stocked with books as well.
Check one out or ask me for a recommendation! Sports novels are encouraged; sports biographies or sports non-fiction are not allowed for AR unless special permission is granted.
