Quizzes are taken on school computers.  The Reading Counts program keeps track of students' answers and gives them a score at the end of the quiz.  It also keeps track of a lot of other information such as: title of each book tested, quizzes passes, total number of words read, score received on each quiz, and their overall average score and reading level.

Reading Counts is a reading motivation and management program used to encourage students to read and to monitor their comprehension.  The above links show lists of quizzes available at Brentwood Elementary.

Students are assessed to establish their Lexile reading score using a Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI). A Lexile is a measure of reading and comprehension ability that matches students to texts. Students use this Lexile score to select from a wide variety of books within their personal reading range. The Lexile scores range from BR (beginning reader) through 1700 (college post-graduate).

Reading Counts quizzes use randomly selected multiple-choice questions to test student comprehension for the material read. Students not scoring a minimum of 80% must review the material and retake the quiz the following day. The retake questions may differ from the original quiz.
