My Assistant Principal at the middle school ia former ELA Teacher . He is a proponent of The Accelerated Reading program and has gotten a plan for each student! So now we are working on a program on how we will carry out and promote it to the students and teachers.
I surveyed the ELA teachers to see how they would like it used. I was surprised by the answers. The seventh grade team wanted to use it as a reading motivation and did not want it tied to grades. ( like a reading reward program similar to my fall into reading challenge that I am currently doing) The 8th grade team thought they might like it tied to the grades but then changed their mind.
So I think we are going to go with the reading motivation theme and it will be run though then library which is logical and also helpful because then I will not have to do anymore challenges , just help keep track of the students who are doing the most AR!
What do you do at your school ( especially Middle School) for accelerated Reading? Leave your ideas and comments below please!
