The Reading Counts program is an optional reading program at Kennett Middle School; although in some cases, teachers may assign book reports and students may have to take a Reading Counts quiz for a class grade.
Students may read any book regardless of the Lexile Level, unless a teacher assigns a certain book and/or Lexile Level. Students must follow this Honor Code below in order to qualify for membership in the Reading Counts Clubs and earn rewards.
Students may take no more than three (3) quizzes per school day (including everybody books). If more than 3 quizzes are taken in one day, you may be disqualified from membership in the Reading Counts Clubs.
Students must take quizzes on books that have read recently. Books read previously in elementary school will not qualify, unless read entirely again. Abridged and/or movie versions are not acceptable.
Students must never copy questions or tell anyone the answers, or in any way, cheat on a Reading Counts quiz. Cheating will result in disqualification from membership in the Reading Counts Clubs.
Students will have three (3) attempts to pass a quiz. A second attempt cannot be made in the same day.
We utilize Scholastic Reading Counts (SRC) at KMS. Although Reading Counts is an optional reading incentive program, all students are encouraged to participate. In some cases, teachers may assign book reports and students may be required to take a Reading Counts quiz for a class grade.
Our goal is for ALL students to become proficient readers. When students read what they enjoy reading, and at a level that they are comfortable with, they are excited about reading and it encourages them to read more. Therefore, at KMS, students can read whatever they choose to read. The Lexile Level does not judge content or conceptual complexity. It is highly recommended that all parents review the books that their child chooses specifically for content.
READING COUNTS QUARTER CLUBS
To be a member of the Reading Counts Quarter Clubs, we will look at the number of words read.
The top 10 students from each grade level that have adhered to the policies of no more than 3 quizzes per day will be in the club.
