FAQ

Question 1: How will teachers do this?

Answer 1:  

6-8: Students form teams of 10 (students and adults) and register the names of the team members and the student captain in the media center.   Note: 6-8 Teachers can participate as a team member and log books in the library on the team log and list the score of the sample AR quiz for the book to motivate students or opt out of the quiz. (see the LMS for details)

K-1 teachers may log books read to the entire class on a reading log to turn in with the individual student logs (students should not duplicate books listed by the teacher).  The AR quiz passed by any student in the class may count as 1 bonus point for 1 book  for the class (not per student).

2-5 teachers may log books read to the entire class on a reading log to turn in with the individual student logs (students should not duplicate books listed by the teacher).  The students should take and pass the AR quiz.
