Elementary Students Challenged to Read One Million Words
Elementary stu-dents in grades 3-6 have been chal-lenged to read one million words this school year (as cal-culated by Accelerat-ed Reader tests stu-dents take over the books they’ve read). So far, five stu-dents have sur-passed the mile-stone. Students on schedule to read one million words get to attend the One Mil-lion Word Club meet-ing once a quarter, where students par-ticipate in activities such as book and author discussions. The five students who have met the challenge are pictured above. They are: Ally Rinner, Elyssa Graber, Gabe Brown, Morgan Meyer, and Tanner Egli.
