📚❄️ AR Reading Challenge – Cozy Reading Success! ❄️📚
Today our students snuggled up in their coziest spots and dove into great books during our AR Reading Challenge—and the results were amazing!
👏 Lucy rocked her reading and earned 17 AR points in one day—way to go!
🐶 Zephyrin was all cozy and ready to read, choosing Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls and scoring a 90% on his AR quiz—awesome job!
The Renaissance Learning Accelerated Reader (AR) program helps students grow as confident readers by matching them with books at their level, checking comprehension with short quizzes, and motivating them to set and reach reading goals. Best of all, it builds a love of reading—one cozy book at a time 💙📖
Keep reading, keep earning, and keep sharing those cozy spots! 🛋️✨
