Reading Counts Quizzes

Starting NOW, each student will be REQUIRED to complete at least ONE Reading Counts quiz on the computer at school (The first due date is below).  A quiz score of a 7 out of 10 or higher will be required on each quiz or your child will retake the quiz until he or she achieves the passing score. The passing score will go into your child's cumulative reading grade for each quiz. The online quiz content includes comprehension skills from leveled books that we currently have in our classroom library and Reagan's library.

I will send home a list of "just right" books for your child based on his or her current Lexile reading level in Friday papers this week. This list will help you guide your child's reading at home, and it will help with selecting appropriate books here at school, too. We're working on our reading stamina, too, so any attention you can provide for your student with guiding book choices would be helpful! ***Your child can read the books at home or at school, but the reading and quiz taking of at least one book MUST be completed by the following dates:

#1 RC Quiz: due Friday, October 12
#2 RC Quiz: due Wednesday, November 21
#3 RC Quiz: due Friday, December 21

RC Quiz due dates for 2013 will come out in the beginning of December. I will, of course, remind the students of the due dates, offer them time in class to read and take the quizzes, and place reminder due dates on the assignment board for the kids to copy into assignment notebooks each week.

Thank you so much for helping me guide your child to be a successful reader!
