Warsaw Christian Students 'Read the Most from Coast to Coast'
Posted
Staff Report-
Students at Warsaw Christian School are reading in the halls, reading in the malls, preparing to take part in “Read The Most From Coast to Coast” Friday, Dr. Seuss’s birthday.
“Read The Most From Coast to Coast,” a national reading event set for Friday, challenges students to shatter the national one-day record for Accelerated Reader™ Quiz-taking.
Accelerated Reader, a reading management software program for K-12 schools, helps educators measure and improve reading comprehension levels.
“Students read a book at the appropriate level and then take a quiz on a computer,” said Lois Witte, librarian. “The quiz assesses general comprehension of the book just read. Accelerated Reader scores the quiz, monitors results, generates reports, and provides a platform to manage individual reading practice.”
“Read The Most From Coast to Coast” enables students to take part in a shared reading adventure, and, at the same time, show the world they understood what they’ve read. All students who take part in this nationwide challenge will be eligible to receive a Certificate of National Participation.
The one-day record for Accelerated Reader Quiz-taking is well above 2 million quizzes.
Friday, educators will be able to see the progress toward a national goal.
“We’re excited about the event,” said Witte. “We expect to see many happy faces when the National AR quiz goal is shattered.”
