AR Reading Logs
AR reading logs have gone home.  All students took a reading test that identified a personal independent reading level.  This is referred to as their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).  From their range, students are given a point value they need to obtain by the end of the quarter.  Quarter 1 reading logs are due October 3, 2010.  There are thousands of books that are AR books! Each book has a level and point value. Students must be reading AR books that are within the appropriate ZPD.  After they finishing reading a book, they will take a quiz. The quiz will give them x-amount of points.  Students need to earn the goal that is stated on their paper.  Below are the links to take AR quizzes and check all books.
