For
a number of years, elementary students have participated in a reading enrichment
program to help motivate children to read. Scholastic
Reading
Counts! is a
computer-based program created to help motivate children to read.
In brief, children read a book (or have a book read to them) and then
complete a short comprehension test on the computer.
Students accumulate points based on successful completion of tests.
These points can be used to “purchase” items from the Reading Counts!
store in January and May. In addition, students can earn certificates and medallions for
achieving reading goals.
