The children are really excited about taking accelerated reading tests in the classroom. In order to help them keep track of what they are reading and to keep you informed of their progress, each child will have their own AR Folder. In their folder, you will find their latest Star Reading Report. This report lets you know their current reading level and their range. Please encourage them to read books within their range. This will help ensure that books are not too challenging for independent reading. In addition, reading books at the top of their range will encourage them to continue to grow as a reader. To help your child find books within their range, you can use the website www.arbookfind.com. You can type in the title of a book and it will provide you with the book level and AR test number. In their folder, you will also see a book log. Please encourage them to write down the title and author of the books they read. In addition, help them find the test number and book level on the website provided. I will record the percentage they get correct after they take their test in class. Their AR Folder should remain in their backpack, so they will always have it with them at home and school.
Hopefully, this will make more sense when you see the folder tomorrow:)
Mrs. Smith sent home a letter recently about a reading challenge. The goal is for each first grader to read at least 10 books and pass at least 10 AR tests with a score of 80% or higher. For the students who meet this goal, they will get to watch a movie in the library on March 4th. Please encourage your child to read at least 1 book every night.
Thank you for all you do at home to help instill a love of reading in your children!
