St. Jude's Accelerated Readers Program

St. Jude's Accelerated Readers program is available to all students grades 1 through 8.  The program allows students to select from a collection of over 8,000 books.  After reading a book, the student takes a computer based test which scores his/her reading comprehension.

Each 9 weeks a required amount of AR points must be obtained.  The amount of points varies by grade.  A list of all tests taken, the score on each test along with the total points earned during each 9 weeks is provide to the parents.  This allows the parents to see their child's progress and overall reading level.

"The more you read, the more things you know.  The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."  Dr. Suess

The Accelerated Reader program encourages children to read more, learn more and as they grow, go more places!

In addition to the AR program, the library sponsors a Birthday Club.  Each student that joins the Birthday Club will receive on his/her birthday a book selected based on the student's interest.  After the student reads the book, it is placed in the library for the other students to read.  A label is placed in the book honoring the student for his/her contribution to the school library.  We also celebrate the students' birthdays twice during the year.
