Accelerated Reader |
|
| The
Accelerated Reader program is an independent reading program designed to
help students with their reading comprehension skills. Students
take a STAR test to determine their reading level and then they check
out a book in that level. Students then read the book, take a
computerized test, and check their results. Students are
encouraged to maintain an 80% average or higher and to read at least 35
books in grades 1-2 or 80 points in grades 3-5 for the school year. This is a challenging reading
program and Lincoln students do a great job!
Each year there is a school wide theme. For the 2010-2011 school year our theme is " Wild About Reading." Our AR Celebration Kick-off will be announced soon. This will be a fun program to get students excited about reading! In the 2001- 2002 school year we started an award in honor of a fifth grade student who had read more books than any other student at Lincoln. The award was named the Brian Pinto Award after the first winner. This year, John Burnam, a fifth grader in Mrs. Bergozza's class, won the award. John passed 254 quizzes with 94.7% accuracy. That achievement is equivalent to reading 6,204,830 words! Great job, John! The total number of points earned on AR this year was 905.5 points with an average score of 87.6%. Way to go Lincoln students!
