Dear Parents, This letter is to inform you of my expectations for the Accelerated Reading Program for 5th grade. Your child will soon be taking an Accelerated Reading Star assessment to determine the range of book levels he or she is allowed to read to provide the highest reading success. This same assessment will be given at the middle and end of the year to show your child’s reading progress. You will receive a copy of your child’s report each time. Students will be checking out A.R. books soon in the library. Your child is required to read daily and earn 3 points each week in order to reach their six weeks goal. I will adjust goals throughout the year as needed according to the number of weeks in a six weeks period. EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS: *read 30 minutes every night *record book title and pages read in A.R. folder Reading Log *get reading log initialed by a parent or guardian each night *test on completed books at school through the A.R. program *earn 3 points each week and maintain an 80 or above test average *check out 2 books from the library on student’s reading level each week (1 book MUST be a chapter book!!!!!) *six weeks grades are given for A.R. test average and a percentage grade based on points earned within the six weeks grading period *students should have library books at all times ….. they are allowed to check out books from the library and from my class library I strongly encourage parental involvement. Please read with your child, listen to them read aloud; ask them questions during and after reading to check for comprehension and sign their reading logs daily. Reading daily is so important in helping to improve your child’s fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. Students who read daily improve in all subjects and tend to do well on tests. Opening a book not only increases their knowledge and skills; but reading is an adventure and can be lots of fun!!!!! I appreciate your help and support throughout the year in helping your child achieve his or her highest potential. Sincerely, Dianna Homann 903-764-8535 or
