Fry Elementary School's Accelerated Reader Program

The Accelerated Reading Program is designed to promote reading through incentives. Many of the library books at Fry have Accelerated Reader tests designed to work on the students’ comprehension skills and reading fluency. The students take these tests to score points. All of the tests are taken on the computer and can be taken from any computer in the building. The students must take the test by themselves with no help from a friend, the book, or notes.< On a .5 point test the students must score a 60% or higher to be awarded points. On a 1-point test the students must score a 70% or higher to be awarded points.

Not every student participates in this program. The program is optional for 2^nd through 5^th grade. The teachers and LMC staff encourage all of our students to participate in Accelerated Reader Program. Kindergarten and 1^st grade participation is based on their reading and comprehension levels assessed on their quarterly report card. So every quarter we could have additional Kindergarten and 1^st grade students entering the program.
