To All Parents,
 
I am pleased to announce that the Accelerated Reader Program (AR) will begin this week. Teachers have been given a class list with each student’s ID and Password. 
 
After completing a book the students may access the AR Program from school or home and take a reading comprehension quiz. Students may log onto the school’s website www.southlakecharter.org, then click on Student’s Corner, then click on Click Here to take an AR Test.
 
You will also notice in the Student’s Corner a link to find AR books. You may sort in many different ways including by reading level. With over 118,000 books to choose from, this is a great reference.
 
*********************************************************************************************
Students receive points when successfully completing each quiz (reading level and points are listed on the book and/or quiz).    The following is a list of the 2009-2010 Individual Awards which I will be distributing as attained:

Students will receive $.05 for each AR Point earned which may be used towards either a Coupon for a book purchase at the Spring Book Fair or a Gift Card to a local merchant (ie. Barnes and Nobles, Target, EPIC Movie…). Points will accumulate throughout the school year and so will the $$$$!
