| HEEL & TOE PROGRAM SKIPS INTO ACTION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Heel & Toe Program began in 2006 and allows students to read and earn points for the 10,000 library books without AR quizzes available. Students select a book (with approval for its reading level), read it, and complete an activity about the book for points. The number of points are based on the number of pages and difficulty of the book. Mrs. Forman assigns points on an individual basis. Points earned will be added to the weekly Footsteps program. books which haven't left the shelf since the AR program's inception in 2001. The students have been drawing some creative cartoon strips and costumes from the books' eras. They have also written several letters to the authors and compared character traits. *******The students must read and quiz on two Accelerated Reader books for every Heel and Toe book they do. They must earn AR points each quarter BEFORE the Heel & Toe points can be recorded. |

The BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB is an on-going fund raiser for the Library. Each student receives a birthday card inviting them to donate $5 to the library to join the Birthday Book Club. If a student brings $5 each to the Library, he/she may select a book from the Birthday shelf. A sticker is placed on the inside front cover with the student's name and birthdate. That student becomes the first one to check out the book for two weeks. After it is returned, the book is placed in our library for other students to enjoy. This is a great way to get new books added to our collection! And the students can see their names in the book for years to come! And remember... Happy Birthday to Everyone!!! |

Accelerated Reader is a software program that helps teachers manage and monitor a student's reading growth. Studies have shown that the AR program improves students' critical thinking skills and increases self confidence. It also provides the teacher with a valuable tool for assessment of individual reading and literacy skills. Our goal is to help the students develop a love of reading by choosing books of their interest and that are in a comfortable zone (neither too easy nor too difficult.) Students begin the program with a reader assessment quiz (STAR) taken in the computer lab. This test is taken periodically to assess the students' growth in reading levels.The outcome of this quiz determines each student's reading level in the AR program. Most often, the reading level is a broad range which ensures the student has a wide variety of books to choose from. The student then selects books based on their interests and reading level. Once the student reads a book, a short comprehension quiz is taken to determine how well the student understood what was read. Book quizzes may be taken in the classroom, computer lab, or Library Media Center. We now have over 10,000 books in our library that have AR quizzes. Not all of our books have quizzes available. However, as soon as they become available (and as soon as there is money in the budget, we purchase as many quizzes as we can.) The AR books in the library are color-coded and marked with their reading level to help the students find books in their reading range. The library staff is always willing to help students find books of interest within their range. |

| Footsteps Program | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The primary goal of this program is to help our students become better readers. The object is for students to "take steps to reading success." Students in each grade level earn a footstep after attaining a pre- determined number of points in the AR program. (Second grade need 2 points to earn a foot. Third grade needs 3 points to earn a foot, and so on...) Qualifying points are for books that are read independently and within the student's reading range. (Books read by parents or teachers or books not in their reading range do not count for footsteps.*** Students can earn points for feet only for books they have read independently.*** Students earning the required points in grade 2-6 will receive a 'foot' token to be worn on a chain or on their shoe laces. Students will receive their chain when they earn their first token in the program. The replacement cost for lost or broken chains is 50 cents. Lost foot tokens cannot be replaced. Students in Junior High will earn points for their class goals. Points earned over the grade requirements will go towards buying items from the Junior High Treasure Chest on one day at the end of each quarter. |
