Reading Counts

Reading Counts Grade Lists!

Reading Counts is a reading incentive computer program that has been in use in our school library for over 15 years. Students in Grades 3-8 read a book that is on the Reading Counts list and then they take a short multiple choice quiz on a computer that runs the Reading Counts program. The student then prints a report that shows if he/she has passed the quiz. Each teacher makes the decision whether to require their reading students to pass a certain number of quizzes during the school year. We have over 1300 quizzes in our Reading counts database. To view a list of book titles that are available in the Reading Counts program, please select the appropriate grade level below:

Grades 3-4

Grades 5-6

Grades 7-8
