AR Highlights

• Teachers will set quarterly goals for each of their students based on the independent reading level. Quarterly goals will be entered in the computer by the teacher.

• 85% or above average is expected. Plan interventions to help those not working at 85% correct. See Mrs. Alexander for intervention ideas.

• When a student receives 100% on an AR test, the teacher will give them a 100% ticket. Students will drop off these tickets into a container in the Media Center. Weekly, Mr. Slattery will draw names from the container for prizes.

• Teachers should try to meet with students daily to review their progress and make recommendation for the students. This should be a quick check-in.

• Students may use their books when taking an AR test. Please be mindful of student abusing this privilege.

• Please utilize Morning Work, WIN, as well as Independent Reading time to promote AR reading.
