Boosting Reading Skills update: 2008-01-23

The Accelerated Reader is a researched based reading program that has been scientifically proven to help improve reading levels. Students in grades 1-4 read books at their independent level followed by a 5-10 comprehension question test. Students move up to a higher reading level when they receive 90% on at least two consecutive tests. Children check out AR books from the library. Testing data shows that student performance on standardized testing and the state OAT are aligned to the performance and progress charted through the AR program.

Computer Instruction Starts Early at Central Elementary update: 2008-01-23
