Are there any books that are read in class that my child can use for a monthly Reaching Counts quiz?Yes and No: Some of the stories in our reading books, for example Nate the Great, had an RC quiz online for students to complete. Some students chose to use that story for their September RC quiz grade where others wanted to take a quiz over an additional book. Students are also encouraged to check out a book at his or her Lexile reading level at the Media Center when our class has check out dates.
Does my child know his or her Lexile reading level? YES! Or each student should know this number! We've taken two different SRI assessments to determine reading levels. We will continue to do so once per month through May.
How do I know if Reagan's Media Center has a Reading Counts Quiz for the book my child's currently reading? Each book that comes from our school library will have a label on the back that indicates the books Lexile reading level and whether Reagan has a Reading Counts quiz online here at school. See the image attached to this blog post for an example.
How can I find the Lexile and whether Reagan has a Reading Counts quiz for the book my child is currently reading? To access our school's online card catalog, the site is http://destiny.brownsburg.k12.in.us/common/servlet/logout.do?site=201. You can also access the web address www.lexile.com to find a book's lexile level. ***These links are on linked on the right side of the blog for future access.
Can my child take an RC quiz at home? Not currently. The quiz time will be provided in class during daily literature stations.The due dates are set in advance, the students will write the due date within two weeks of its due date, and parents will receive reminders via the blog of upcoming due dates.
***If you have any other questions about the RC quizzes, lexiles, SRI assessments, etc, please don't hesitate to ask.
