READING IS INCREDIBLE. WE LOVE IT! WE CELEBRATE IT! AND WE LOVE TO WRITE OUR OWN BOOKS TOO!
We encourage students to choose their own books that are a good fit for their reading ability and interests. Research shows that Good Fit Books are the best way to get students to fall in love with reading. A good fit book is easy to find. First, the student will be interested in the genre, topic or subject. Next, the student will read a page or two and find that they are not frustrated with too many words they cannot read or figure out, 3 ore 4 words on a page is ok however, more than that can lead to a frustrated reader. Reading should be fun.
We also use AR (Accelerated Reader) as one tool to help us become awesome readers.
Students must achieve the minimum scores set using the AR software for quiz results to count toward certification/ or a quarterly goal. This is set at 85 percent for all quizzes.
Our class is encouraged to get AR books at the library every two weeks. Sometimes teachers will ask that your student get at least one AR book and the second book can be a choice.
AR Quizzes can be taken at school. We have daily in-class time for this to be done. Our Pomaikai School CLL
(Creative Literacy Library) is open during most recesses, before and after school to take AR quizzes on the computers as students finish books.
There is plenty of available time to take the quizzes.
Taking an AR quiz is a student choice!
We all celebrate you and your achievements :)
