B. Class Supply List
These are items from the RMS 7th Grade Supply List that will be needed specifically for reading class.
C. Accelerated Reader
All students MUST read within their STAR Reading Level. We will take the STAR Reading test at the beginning of school and multiple times throughout the year to check on progress. During the 3rd nine weeks, we will be reading a novel together in class. Tangerine is worth 13 points and has a 4.3 Grade Level to accommodate all level readers. Differentiated lessons will distinguish the higher-level readers from the lower-level readers during this novel.
D. Grading System
Grades are based on the point system. Each assignment is assigned a point value based on the difficulty and importance. A student’s final average is computed by taking the total number of points received divided by the total number of possible points creating a percentage. Students’ grades will be updated regularly in Infinite Campus for your viewing. The following list is the breakdown of grades in reading.
