Reading Counts! at REMMS
"The more you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
–– Dr. Suess
In order to promote independent reading as a part of our balanced literacy program at REMMS, all students are required to participate in the Reading Counts incentive program and will receive a grade for participation and completion. For the 2nd nine weeks, students must earn 25 points in order to receive a 100% project grade in their ELA class (click for grading rubric).
In order to qualify for the school-wide incentive, students must also meet the following requirements in addition to earning 25 points: read at least five chapter books on or above their Lexile level and maintain a 75% (or higher) average on the Reading Counts tests.
*Please note: the ELA project grade for the 2nd nine weeks is based solely on the amount of Reading Counts points earned. The students’’ eligibility for the school-wide incentive is based on the number of points earned, in addition to the number of Lexile-appropriate chapter books read, and the testing average.
**Deadline: The deadline for completing the 2ndnine weeks Reading Counts project is Thursday, January 12, 2012 by 3:00pm.
Power School Portal for Parents is available here!
Parents and students may access grades. The site allows you to set up an account for your child only with information supplied to you from the school. With this account you can check on grades at any time.
