Introduction
The Huntsville Elementary School Library serves students in grades Pre-K through 4th grade. Patricia Terry, who taught 4th grade at Huntsville for 26 years, has been the librarian for the past 11 years. Mrs. Terry is a graduate of The University of Tennessee and is certified in Elementary Education and Library and Information Science. Mrs. Terry reinforces reading skills and helps students meet their individual reading goals by providing books on each child’s reading level. Students participate in several reading programs during the school year such as Accelerated Reader, Pizza Hut’s Book-It Program, Scholastic Book Fair, and the National Education Association’s Read Across America.
Accelerated Reader (AR)
Accelerated Reader was developed over 20 years ago to help educators accurately and efficiently monitor the quantity and comprehension of their students' reading practice. After reading a book at the appropriate level, students take a comprehension quiz on a computer. Educators can use Accelerated Reader's immediate feedback on reading and vocabulary growth to motivate and monitor student growth.
