Welcome back to a new school year at St Bernadette library! As always, there are a few changes in the library this year, but one thing will always remain the same – our love for reading!
The Accelerated Reader (AR) program has been altered this year and will be used in the Grade Two through Grade Six classrooms. Accelerated Reader is a program designed to increase reading comprehension. After reading an AR book, students can take a comprehension quiz. Their quiz results determine how many AR points they receive, and different point milestones get students rewards from the library. As well, the AR program has the STAR testing feature, which provides one measure of students reading level. AR classrooms will be STAR testing over the next few weeks to get an approximation on students’ reading levels.
Our reading nights will resume in October, with our first reading night during Education week. Please check the October bulletin and calendar for more details.
We are always looking for parents who wish to help in the library. If you would like to volunteer your time to shelve books or assist with classroom book exchanges, please contact Ms Long at [email protected].
