Reading Counts
Reading Counts
Reading Counts is a motivational reading program designed to increase reading skills and comprehension. After reading a book, students take a 10 question multiple-choice computerized quiz. If they score 70% or higher on the quiz, they are credited with points, based on the book’s length and level of difficulty. These points are accumulated throughout their years at Dassel Elementary. Students are eligible for Reading Counts prizes at specified point totals. Below is a list of Reading Counts quizzes and prizes.
