Flat Rock Middle School

25 Book Reading Program

     Twice during the school year, students take the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) to determine their current reading ability. The SRI test measures a student’s Lexile level. Throughout the school year, students will take Reading Counts quizzes to demonstrate understanding and proficiency of a book. Students will be encouraged to select independent reading material within their Lexile range. A student’s Lexile range would be determined to be 100L below to 50L above their Lexile score on the SRI.

All students in Grades 6-8 are expected to read 25 books or their equivalents during the school year as required by the Georgia Performance Standards in reading.  The 25 Book Reading Program will count 10% of a student's Reading grade.  The following is the rubric and goals for each nine week period:

(1-150 pages = one book)

Incentives for meeting the 25 Book goal:
Students who read 13 books by the end of the 2nd nine week period will be rewarded with a party and drawings for prizes.  At the end of the year, students who have met their 25 book goal will be rewarded with an afternoon Carnival featuring inflatables, rock climbing, popcorn, cotton candy, prizes, etc.
