SCHOLASTIC READING COUNTS
Reading Counts is a highly motivating reading activity. After reading a book, students take a computerized quiz that will assess how well they understand the book. When students pass a quiz, they are awarded points based on the number of correct answers and the length and difficulty of the book.
