2007-2008
Mrs. Reed’s Accelerated Thinking
Program
The Accelerated Thinking Program is a newly
implemented program I introduced to our class to encourage increased
recreational reading and promote the consistent use of higher level thinking
skills. Children were introduced to this program the week of November 19th.
A rubric was generated from an overview of the four highest levels of
Bloom’s Taxonomy. Participants were recognized and rewarded for their
participation each month. Our top point earners are listed below.

We also participated in our
school’s
Accelerated
We earned over 1,000 points as a class!!
What is AR?
Children
were taken to the computer resource lab and tested to get their general
reading range for books to check out at the library. Library
books have already been identified and tabbed for students to select based on
his/her reading range. Each time a child reads a book in his/her range,
there will be a computer generated quiz for him/her to take to test
comprehension of the selection.
Children can earn points and prizes for acquired points.
I highly encourage children to participate in this program each year. It is a
great tool to increase reading comprehension. I will post our top point leaders
each week on this page. I will also include pictures of your children reading.
In past years, we have had several students earn lunch with Mrs. Capwell, gift certificates, and many other rewards for
their accomplishments and love of reading. I’m looking forward to another great
year of remarkable readers. Get ready to read, read, read…
