Accelerated Reader Goals Individualized goals each trimester (Point and Average Percent Correct goals) Nightly Reading = AR Goal MET Students who do not meet their 1st Trimester AR goals will have a reading assignment for homework each night of the 2nd Trimester (and lowered point goals).

Spontaneous Homework Sometimes spontaneous homework will also be sent home; this could happen on any night. Usually this happens when something was not completed during the day as classwork. The teacher will have the students write in their planner when it is due.

Students need you to teach them how to study. These kids are learning how to study. They need an adult at home to help them figure out what method works best for them. Some possibilities: Making and practicing flash cards Reading and re-reading notes and study guides Practice problems for math Parent – child quizzing regularly
