New Way To Complete Reading Logs!!

This quarter the 7th grade students AR grades were horrible. I know they have very busy schedules, but for a lot of them their AR grades brought down their grade for reading class to a much lower level. Out of 63 students 21 did not have any AR points. AR is worth 100 points, so it ended up really affecting some of their grades as the total classroom points was only at about 700.
So....in order to try to fix this situation, I have created a new reading log that works a little differently than the other one. Students must read 20 minutes per night, and record the page they are on. This includes Sat. and Sun. Parents will still have to sign the reading logs, but the students no longer have to write three sentences. As soon as students receive 20 AR points they will no longer have to complete the reading logs. They will receive the weekly points for reading in class. The reading logs will increase from being worth 25 points to 70 points per week. Ask you child to see their new reading workshop form.
