GREEN  is the theme in the library this year! 

Borrow-Read-Return  is the motto.

AR   Accelerated Reader

Our school has a subscription to AR which is a Renaissance Learning reading enrichment program.  Books have been labeled with a color dot coordinated with reading levels. This guides students to look for books they can read and show comprehension by taking a quiz on a computer.  Depending on the difficulty and length of the book, points are accumulated for each student.  Most picture books are worth 1/2 point, while some chapter books can exceed 10 points. Throughout the school year recognition is given on Fridays for point accumulations and making reading point goals. Three to four goal sessions will be set up for students to work on setting personal reading point challenges.  At the end of each session an activity will be arranged funded by the College Place P.T.A.  Students are assigned a reading level range after they take a Renaissance Learning STAR test.  This test is repeated several times during the year to help monitor reading growth.

     The color circles above demonstrate how the books are coded so students will be able to locate books they will be able to read and answer  recall questions.   

New for the 2007-08 school year we will have a web-based version of AR.  This means we will have access to all of the quizzes, over 65,000!
