Library Programs | |
Accelerated Reader has been helping teachers motivate and monitor large amounts of student reading practice. The quizzes are motivational because they ensure a successful, positive experience if the student has read a book at the proper reading level. Students can participate in this program in the library, as well as in their classroom. Genre Honors Genre Honors stresses reading success, writing skills, and technology skills. Reading selections from various genres are available from which students may choose to read. Students read three books from a chosen genre. For each book read, the students successfully complete an Accelerated Reader test, write a short review of the book, and complete a technology-related project. Upon completion of these requirements, students will receive a badge representing the chosen genre, and an extra 100 averaged into their English grade. Their name will appear on the Genre Honors Wall. Library Cadets Library Cadets is a library-service group which practices information skills, develops responsibility and good citizenship habits, and provides services to the school community through various library-related tasks. Love-A-Book Love-A-Book is a book donation program that allows students, faulty, parents, and friends to donate books to the Springdale Elementary Library collection. Donors can provide information to be inserted inside the book that will be located on the Love-A-Book shelf. |
