Happy Friday! Just wanted to pass along this information. Students are able to take Reading Counts Quizzes in class during their computer time.
What is it?
Since 3rd graders are transitioning from picture books to chapter books, our PTA has funded a “Paw Tag” program to motivate the transition! There will be 3 categories. Once each milestone is achieved, students will earn a certificate and a “Paw Tag” engraved necklace at the end of the quarter.
250,000 Words- 1st “Paw” Tag Milestone
500,000 Words- 2nd “Paw” Tag Milestone
750,000 Words- 3rd “Paw” Tag Milestone
What are the incentives?
There are 7 levels. Totals will be added on a quarterly basis. Each student will receive a certificate and a medal.
Bronze Medal=1 Million Words Platinum Medal= 5 Million Words
Silver Medal= 2 Million Words Diamond Medal= 6 Million Words
Gold Medal= 3 Million Words Jaguar Medal= 7 Million Words
Elite Medal= 4 Million Words
** Top Jaguar Trophy- The top reader in each grade level by the end of the school year.
Who can participate?
Participants- Any 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade RIS student
When can I take a quiz?
What is it?
- A reading incentive program used with Reading Counts to promote Reading Comprehension.
- Students will read books within their Lexile range, take Reading Count Quizzes, reach at least 70% mastery, and aim to achieve reading a million words this school year!
- If no Reading Counts Quiz is available, an alternate mini book report form is available through Mrs. Chrisman upon verification.
- Quizzes will only count 1 time per school year.
