In order for your child to receive the reading circle certificate for third grade he/she must complete 16 book reports (11 fiction and 5 non fiction). Your child may choose  how to complete the  book reports: computer test at school (accelerated reading program), written, or orally. There is a list of books that may be read at the public library if he/she chooses to do AR book reports on the computer. To receive credit  for an AR book report, your child must receive a  70% or higher on the computer quiz. Written and oral  forms are in the classroom. Your child may complete the forms at home or at school. Every 4th Book Report must be done orally. Other oral book reports will be done on Friday afternoons.

Be sure your child is reading books on his/her reading level for book reports.
