Adopt-a-Book
     Adopt-a-Book is a program through which you can donate good literature to our school library in honor of a special person. You might donate a book in honor of your child's birthday or your child's teacher. All you have to do is come to our school library and pick out the book from our special shelves. The cost is $15. A special message will be placed inside the book. We appreciate all your support!

Accelerated Reader
     The Accelerated Reader Program combines the best of children's literature with software that tests comprehension. There are three steps that provide the foundation for self-paced, individualized reading.

1.  Select a book.   Students choose from more than 2,000 popular titles on the Rivercrest Accelerated Reader book list. Titles range in reading level from first grade through middle school. The Rivercrest Library has many of the titles but not all. Accelerated Reader books are also available through sources other than Rivercrest (the public library, bookstores, etc...).

2.  Read the book.   Students then read books at their own pace. As students get more involved with good literature, they eagerly discuss books and recommend them to friends.

3.  Take a test.   Students enjoy taking the 5, 10, or 20 question multiple-choice test. With the test completed, the computer instantly reveals how many questions he or she answered correctly, and awards points based on the book's length, reading level, and number of correct answers.

Encourage thorough reading before taking a test!!!
