Inquiry provides a framework for learning. To become independent learners, students must gain not only the skills but also the disposition to use those skills, along with an understanding of their own responsibilities and self-assessment strategies. Combined, these four elements build a learner who can thrive in a complex information environment. (AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner) |

Accelerated Reader Reading is a crucial skill for academic success not only in English classes but also in social studies, science, and even math classess. You can help your student by encouraging the to spend time each day practicing this skill. At Captain Shreve we will continue to help students improve their reading comprehension and develop their vocabulary through the use of Accelerated Reading. All students, freshmen through seniors, will be given a test in August or early September. They then will begin reading books in their zone and testing on those books by computer in the library. English teachers as well as teachers from different disciplines will be talking to students about their expectations. One of the goals will be for students to achieve an 85% or higher on the reading tests. Scientifically based research has proven that students who read 20 minutes a day show significant gains in comprehension, vocabulary, and in reasoning and problem-solving skills. Look for Accelerated Books at your house and encourage your students to practice daily. A list of Accelerated Reading tests can be found in the link above " New Quiz List for Accelerated Reader" or by clicking here.
