Accelerated Reader
Remember! Second graders are required to earn at least five points this nine weeks. Two grades will be given based on the accomplishments of the student by that date. One grade will be based on the number of points earned. But the most important grade will be based on the COMPREHENSION SCORE earned by the student. It is most important to score well on the tests. The number of points earned is not as important.
