Reading Counts

Scholastic Reading Counts
 
We have been fortunate enough to be able to purchase Reading Counts Online. This is an awesome program that we have been using for several years, but now there are more tests available to our students online. Research shows that reading has a big impact on students learning abilities. In the upcoming school year we plan to implement our Reading Counts program to its fullest in each 2-5 grade classrooms and reward students based upon their individual reading lexiles.
