Accelerated Reading Program 2008/2009

         The Accelerated Reader Program is a special reading program available for all of our students in grades 1-3.  The student reads one of the accelerated books in the library and takes a short comprehension test about the book. It is recommended that the test be taken within a day or two of completing the chosen book.   If you have any questions about the Accelerated Reading Program at our school you may contact Keri Perkins at
770-537-4352.
