MEDIA BROADCAST AREA
Currently we are broadcasting our Morning News program live through Video Furnace and also across the internal distribution system. Because we do not have a “room” we are in the middle of the media center .

READING INCENTIVES Accelerated Reader – the students
are listed on the Wall of Fame as they earn different points through AR. Students are awarded certificates at the end of the year during Honors Day.
READING INCENTIVES Reader of the Week (ROW)– one student each
week is chosen by their classroom teacher as the spotlight student Reader of the Week at Largo. Their picture is taken and place on bulletin board in Media Center. They are also highlighted on scrolling announcements for one week. The pictures then move to the main hallway for the remainder of the year.
READING INCENTIVES Heart Book Challenge – students are
encouraged to read books that are chapter books are a little challenge for them. If they read the book and make at least an 80% or higher, they are given a reward from the Media Specialist.
Book Fair – the monies raised are used to purchase books and additional equipment. The Book Fair is held in the Fall and there is a Parent Night where families can come and purchase items.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS Special Visitors - we were recently
privileged to have a Blind Lady come read to us with a Braille Book. We also have authors visit when ever we can.
Book Clubs – each year we have several Book Clubs going throughout the year
SURVEY FINDINGS Media Center is mostly used on an as
needed basis which allows freedom for teachers and students.
Whole classes visit the MC during Orientation and when completing research for a project
84% of the staff felt confident and comfortable in the MC
SURVEY COMMENTS Media Specialist is organized, friendly and
helpful. Everyone who works in Media Center is
friendly and helpful. There is a large collection of books and
research materials. Media Center closes too early. There is only one room. Takes too long at the beginning of the
year to check out and have to return all books too early before the end of the year.
SURVEY COMMENTS Would like to see:
More reading nooks More instruction by Media Specialist on
how to research, using resources and using technology
More individual areas More book clubs at all levels More computers
FACILITY CHANGES
