Sacred Heart has implemented a reading system that works with the Accelerated Reader software. This will allow us to accurately monitor student progress through the year. This program is called the Star Reading program. Since this software accurately measures student development, the point system has changed from past years and each individual student has their own point goals. In past years, the entire class had one point goal.

 

By each mid-term, students should have at least one half of their required points for the grading period. Teachers will be monitoring points throughout the grading period and guiding students in their selections of books. Students will not be allowed to wait until the last week of the grading period to earn their AR points.

No AR points will be carried over to the next grading period. Student must read their AR book, they CANNOT listen to taped stories.

When a student achieves their AR point goal in a grading period they will earn a dress pass with a maximum of two dress passes awarded each grading period.

If you have specific questions regarding your child's AR point requirements or progress, please contact his/her teacher for an appointment.
