AR Program

[Debbie Evetts <TEv9562748@AOL.COM>]

Dear Netters,

          My school decided years ago for this program to work it needed to
be flexable.  The eighth grade students needed some young adult type books to
read.  We have been purchasing the young adult state books.  Our eighth grade
students don't work toward points, they are required to read two books, on or
around their level, and make a passing percentage.  When a student selects a
book that is not AR they may read the book and then make up ten questions.
Then one of the adult faculity members will read the book and make up ten
questions.  We then install a test for that book.  Oh, the students are
delighted they have made a test.  I do try to work with students in the 6th
and 7th grades that are not passing a test or not taking test.  Some time
just a little one on one help with book selection helps.  Bottom line is our
reading scores are improving.  Our  faculity is bonded together to make this
happen we are not depending on AR to do any more than its part.
