READING LIST
Every book title listed below has a reading check quiz aligned to it. These reading check quizzes are created by the librarians and are worth 20 points each. Teachers may choose to offer students extra credit during a grading period for reading one of the book selections and taking a quiz over it. The quizzes are graded by the librarians and the student's grade is privately returned to the teacher for recording purposes. Teachers may send students to the library with paper and pencil to take reading check quizzes or teachers may request copies of the quizzes for students to take inside their classrooms. THIS READING PROGRAM IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM.
