Accelerated Reader
Students will continue to use Accelerated Reader this year. Most parents and students are familiar with this program, but new families to Monroe may not be. At the beginning of each quarter your child will take the STAR test. This test determines what their reading level will be for the quarter and together your child and I make their goal based on the AR suggested goal chart. Once students know their scores they choose books based on their ability level and that look/sound interesting.
AR Home Connect
AR Home Connect is wonderful! My children's school also has this and it is very useful for parents and students. I can check to see what books Dylan and Madelyn have read all the way back to their very first AR test. In addition, I can see how many points they have towards their goal. One of the best features is the e-mail sign-up. Each time Dylan or Madelyn takes a test, I receive an email with his/her score. Within AR Home Connect, there is a link to the AR Book Finder site. This site will allow you to look for books based on your child's interest and/or level.
AR Home Connect does not allow you to take tests from home. Test taking must be done at school.
