Over the last 30 days, participation in the upper grades has been over 95%, the lower grades over 85%. These are truy amazing percentages. When you consider that these children are just discovering reading, this participation rate truly shows how successful the Rancho community has been in convincing the children that reading is not only important, but it fun. Remember, Success in College has a very high correlation with reading for pleasure.
I'd like to take this moment to put a plug in again for two of my favorite sites. The first is the Marin County Free Library site. The second is the Accelerated Reader Quiz finder site. With the first, you can locate almost any children's book you or your child want to read. With the second, you can make sure it has a Accelerated Reader quiz associated with it. From Sheila Rae the Brave to the Alanna series to Nothing at all to Thirteen Clocks the Marin Library has it all. And if you check the books out on your child's library card, it's free, no matter from which branch the book comes. As I continue to say, it's one of the best deals in Marin. More on what's happening in the lab tomorrow.
