READING COUNTS
PROGRAM
|
The Reading Counts is a reading motivation and management program that helps encourage and monitor independent reading. |
Here's how it works: |
Students select books from a database of over 23,000 titles from a wide variety of publishers. Students read the books at their own pace. Students take short quizzes on the computer to verify comprehension. |
Reading Counts offers these benefits: |
SIMPLIFIES TEACHING. Automatically-generated
quiz results and reports help teachers monitor every student's performance
throughout the year.
|
PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY. Reading Counts can be used in any classroom or school library. Students read what they like. |
MOTIVATIONAL TOOLS. Students can earn points based on the length and complexity of each book they read. Points and scores are then used for prizes. The more points a student has the more prizes he/she earns. We then have a Reading Counts Awards assembly where the students receive their awards in front of the entire school. |
