Fourth Grade Monthly Reading Requirements

• Fourth graders are expected to read 30 minutes
  every night for homework. I send home AR progress
  reports twice a month.
• 10 9 points is an A
• 8 7 points is a B
• 6 5 points is a C
• 4 3 points is a D

17

• Accelerated Reader (A.R)
• In fourth grade, we want the students to try and
  earn 9 10 points each month. If you are unsure
  if a book is an AR book, you can go to the
  Windrows Website and click on the AR link. It
  will allow you to check. If you would like to
  sign up to receive an email that provides your
  childs score every time he or she takes a test,
  a letter for Home Connect will be sent home soon.
  It is quite helpful in keeping an eye on
  your childs weekly progress. ?

Birthdays
