The Scholastic Reading Counts Program enriches the existing Language Arts curriculum in grades two to eight.  This is a user-friendly, motivational, and flexible software program that assesses and improves the students’ reading skills.  Reading Counts exposes students of all ages, grades, and accomplishment levels to exceptional literature.  Students choose a book from a wide selection of children and young adult works, read it thoroughly, and check their knowledge with a computer-generated comprehension quiz.  The reports provided help teachers track, troubleshoot, and assess individual student performance.  This resource builds enthusiasm and self-esteem and encourages
students to read for pleasure.
