AR #3 - Spring Assesment

Good Morning

Warrior Scholars!

Today you are going to take 

your THIRD Accelerated Reader

online assessment of your 

reading comprehension. 

This assessment is made up of a combination of vocabulary and short passage questions. You are going to do great. 

For some of you it might take less than 20 minutes, for others it will take longer.  Don't trip. Remember, the test gets harder every time you answer a question right so DON'T GET DISCOURAGED!

It is ESSENTIAL that the classroom remain extremely quiet so that everyone has the best environment.

Take this test seriously because we are going to follow up with you to let you know how you did and to help you make reading goals, as well as help us to decide on the appropriate intervention for you.  

This test is TIMED by the question. If you are running out of time a little clock will appear at the top of the screen. Try and answer the question soon if you see the clock.

When you finish the assessment BREATH for a minute and then take your Typing test.

When you are done with your typing test work quietly on your storyboards
