Scholastic+Reading+Counts

Scholastic Reading Counts! is an independent reading program for grades 2-5 (first graders who are able to read fluently and independently will have the opportunity to participate in Reading Counts upon teacher and media specialist consideration) which combines reading practice and software-based assessment. A large number of our Media Center's book collection have RC quizzes. These are primarily fiction books, and they are identified by a blue label which lists the book's reading level and points value. Reading Counts quizzes may be taken on // any // RC book, whether it is checked out from the Horizon Media Center, public library, or personal collection. However, RC quizzes may // only // be taken at school, during school hours, in the classroom or the Media Center. Each teacher will set up his or her own testing procedures //. // Each RC quiz has 10 comprehension questions. In order for the student to pass the quiz, he or she must answer 7 of the 10 questions correctly. The student may retake a quiz up to three times. Prizes are awarded at the end of each grading period for an appropriate number of points earned. Participation in Reading Counts is not mandatory. Reading Counts is an //incentive// program, and no grades are given. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Fay at any time during the school day.
