Curious about AR?

Curious about the Accelerated Reader Program for students in grades 1st-6th? Click here
to view a powerpoint created by R. L. Young's principal, Pattie Thomas. The more you learn about AR, the better you can encourage YOUR child to participate. This program strengthens a child's ability to comprehend reading material on his/her current level using a book that he/she chooses. 

Reading at current level and practicing comprehension strategies will make a student a better reader. Plus, there is no penalty for trying your best. When your child brings home a library book, encourage them to read it to you. Ask questions along the way. This will better prepare them for the computer test. Join AR Home Connect (see link on left side of blog) to receive emails when your child takes an AR test. Then you will be ready to congratulate them at the supper table that night! 

"The more you read, the BETTER you read!"
