NEW FOR SUMMER 2009!
Every summer St. Anthony School promotes the importance of
reading by encouraging students to participate in our summer
reading program. Students are provided with a suggested
reading list and those students who return their completed
reading log during the first week of school enjoy a free dress
day and are entered into a drawing for great prizes! |

Accelerated
Reader (AR) is the most popular and successful reading product
of all time. AR’s advanced technology helps you:
- Make essential reading practice more
effective for every student.
- Personalize reading practice to each
student’s current level.
- Manage all reading activities including read
to, read with, and independent reading.
- Assess students’ reading with four types of
quizzes: Reading Practice, Vocabulary Practice, Literacy Skills,
and Textbook Quizzes.
- Build a lifelong love of reading and
learning.

Now, anyone can search for AR books
online for free! That means parents, guardians, and students can
conduct book searches by author, readability level, point value, and
topic. Then, they can place the titles in their online AR BookBag,
print it, and take it to their bookstore or library.
AR BookFinder also provides
accessibility to the book lists generated by classroom teachers using
AR BookGuide. The book lists contain titles of books that teachers
assign or recommend for students to read.

Scholastic Book
Fair |
|
|
|
The
Scholastic Book Fair is held annually at our school.
The fair is held in the Father Henry Hall and is usually open Monday
through Friday during a week in November. A
Family Event that combines the Book Fair with a Curriculum Exhibit
that showcases our students’ class work is held that same Monday.
|
 |
|
The
Book Fair allows families to shop early
for Christmas while at the same time supporting our school library.
All proceeds go directly to purchasing new library books and
materials. |
