Independent Reading Program at CHS
The Accelerated Reader program at CHS helps manage and monitor students' independent reading practice. Students engage in independent reading during the first 25 minutes of 5th period daily, with teachers, administrators, and academic coaches supporting and monitoring their progress. AR folders include essential materials like reading logs and ZPD labels to track student progress, and incentives are offered for achieving individual reading goals. Students can earn invitations to special literacy events by passing AR quizzes, with additional incentives and awards for top-performing students. Conferences with teachers and monthly goal-setting are integral parts of the program.
