Matching students to texts at appropriate levels helps to increase their confidence, competence, and control over the reading process. The Lexile Framework for Reading is a reliable and tested tool designed to bridge two critical aspects of student reading achievement - leveling text difficulty and assessing the reading ability of each student.

Making our students better readers is an important goal at Fletcher. To help us achieve our goal we have implemented Scholastic's Reading Counts reading program.

What is Reading Counts?

Reading Counts is a computer comprehension and management program that helps encourage and monitor independent reading.

Here's how it works!!!

1. Students select a book that has a quiz and is at their proper Lexile (reading) level
2. Students read the entire book at their own pace and review for understanding
3. Students take a short quiz on the computer to verify comprehension

Fletcher’s library of Reading Counts quizzes has grown to over 39,000. The library has a large selection of Reading Counts books. Although many of the quizzes available are for our school library books, the listing is NOT limited to our school’s library selection. Quizzes may be available for books from the classroom library, the public library, or your home library.

Search for a Book

Our library of quizzes is updated twice a year. If the quiz is newly added we will not have the quiz yet. You may broaden your search by selecting “Title”. In the ECATALOG you may search by interest level, reading level, Lexile level, etc...

Reading Counts Rules

1. You can take a quiz in your classroom during class time, at the 10:10 recess in the library and during your scheduled class times in the Library and Computer Lab
2. You may only take a quiz on a book that you have read or on a book that has been read to you or the class
3. You may not take a quiz on a movie or video, if you have not read the book.
4. It is cheating to copy answers, tell someone the answers to a test, take a test for another student or get answers from someone else
5. You cannot quiz on a book you have passed before because all of your records are kept from year to year
6. Remember that you need to know the complete title and the author of your book
7. In order to pass a quiz you will need to answer at least 7 questions correctly. You are allowed three attempts to pass a quiz
