Since I guess this is my brag on my kids week, I decided that B needed a little air time today.
Yesterday he earned 100 AR (Accelerated Reader) points. If you are not familiar, this is where you read certain books and then take a test on your comprehension.
He has worked very hard and is an excellent reader. He will humbly let you know that he is on a 6th grade level (not quite!)
He has always been interested in books and letters. I remember one day we were at the cemetary at age 2 and he was reading all of the letters on the headstones. Everyone thought he was amazing. I didn't realize that was out of the ordinary until I had other two-year-olds.
He has read every book in his teachers class and most of the Magic Tree House chapter books in the library.
Good job B!
He really is a smart kid. He amazes me during Primary. Everytime we ask him a question he knows the answer! You should brag about him!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I am very familiar with AR. My advanced K kids did it. I love the Magic Tree House books. If he hasn't read "My Father's Dragon" you should look into it. It is a fun chapter book. It's a trilogy so there are two more books in the series. By the way, I think it is a mother's job to brag about her kids! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's great you have something to brag about. He will love knowing that you put him in your blog too.
ReplyDeleteI like the AR program too. Tyler was really into during 1st Grade. Not so much this year, and I'm not sure why. What a great accomplishment for B.
ReplyDeleteThats a great accomplishment! WOW!!! I am not a huge fan of the AR program, but it does work well for great readers!
ReplyDelete100 points is an amazing accomplishment!! Especially if the books are only .5 or 1 point each. That's a LOT of reading! I think you have every right in the world to brag!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of the AR program either, but I think that is great that B LOVES to read. He is a wonderful little guy. I am very proud of his accomplishment too.
ReplyDeleteWow! Impressive! That is awesome. I won't tell you how many points my two have....but I will be sure to tell my how many points B has already!!
ReplyDeleteHey Julie! Of Course it's free!!! It's a birthday party Justin's throwing for me.But he's too busy to get around to actually inviting anyone so I am. It's going to be Thurs, March 12 7pm at the Civic Auditorium. We have almost every song imaginable. But you HAVE seen clean Karaoke before. We did it for a ward party once and you sang Celine Dion.... I guess I just assumed you were sober.... :) JK
