Based on student performance, each student is given a set goal of AR points to reach at the beginning of each nine week period. This goal is always negotiable, depending on student circumstances, but is highly reccomended and required in order to boost a child's reading level and comprehension. Parents are required to sign a Parent Report at the beginning of each nine weeks to show student performance, AR goals, reading levels, and suggested strategies to help students with reading and comprehension.
In order for each student to reach their "AR goal", they must read a total of fifteen minutes nightly. This counts for a majority of the homework assigned to this class. In addition to the reading required at home, students are given fifteen to twenty minutes of daily class time to read, therefore, much time is alotted to complete this program.
AR point achievement and comprehension will be graded each nine weeks and is required by the Language Arts Department of South Point Middle School.
