Reading Counts Information
This is a school wide reading initiative where you will read books of your choice throughout the school year. Below is a list of Reading Counts guidelines that will be followed in 9th Grade English.
1. Students are expected to read 250,000 words per quarter.
2. Students may have to read more than one book to reach the 250,000-word requirement.
3. Students will only receive credit for the words they have read and successfully tested.
Example: 72,000 words read and tests passed equals 72/250 points. 250,000 words read and tests passed equals 250/250 points.
4. Students must tell Ms. Jindra what books they are reading for Reading Counts.
5. Students are encouraged to read books of their choice above 700 Lexile.
6. Students will need to get books approved by their teacher that are below 700 Lexile.
7. A passing score on a reading counts test is a 7/10 or higher.
8. Students may take a test twice, but they need to wait 24 hours between tests.
9. Students who cheat on Reading Counts tests WILL NOT receive credit for those tests.
Example: Taking a test for someone else, only watching a movie, testing with a book open, etc.
10. Students can receive up to 10 points of extra credit for additional words read.
