Not all reading counts.

Ok, I’m being a tad dramatic, but seriously this program has been nothing but a headache for my family. By the time my kids reached 4th grade, we all gave up. Let me explain the gist of what Reading Counts is…

An independent reading program, like the previously know “Accelerator Reading”, designed to encourage children to read on their own, uh, independently. 😉 Brought to…

Do y'all remember Accelerated Reading tests on the computer in Elementary and Middle/JrHS school? And the added annoyance of having to write out a report for a book not in the system? Having to answer like, 10-20 questions about a book you read independently then swapped for a new book to do an AR test on every Friday? Having to log your name on some chart to let your teacher know you actually went on (some teachers had us print out results for proof).

Do they still do that for today's kids? Was that even a universal thing, because I remember only hearing about it within NYC schools. Was that ever a thing for any of y'all?

While reading the badass bookworm thing that @books-and-cookies started and a lot of people reminded me about AR (accelerated reading) and OH MY GOD. That’s what helped to expand my reading. Starting with a book called Good Night Gracie. I devoured it and It was one of the saddest books I had ever read and I kept looking for more books like it, but I couldn’t find one so instead I read more Mystery books and for a while those were my favorites. This was just something I wanted to share. Have you guys read Good Night Gracie? It’ll break your heart.

Can Accelerated Reading Help You Improve Your Grades?

Accelerated learning strategies try to connect the mind and brain. The information gathered through seeing, touching and hearing is registered in the mind and that is what is known as learning. But for the mind to fully retain what has been received, there are some factors which must be available. Although teachers provide understanding though explanations and examples as they teach, sometimes strictness is also required to enable the mind remain focused on what is in the books.

As a college student, many are times when you will be required to do your own studies; and for this, you must have your own techniques which will enable you absorb as much information as possible. One of them is your commitment. The quality of time you will spend in your study room matters. You can spend two hours studying, but the real sense only 30 minutes were utilized properly. Also there are some ways which you can improve your studies

Ask questions: It is a known fact that intelligence increases with curiosity. Formulate questions relating to your subject and your mind will become more focused on finding the answers.

Use method:- This is a strategy that has helped many people in their studies. After taking short breaks, the information can soak in better if you try to teach someone else whatever you have learnt. Remembering that you are accountable for somebody else’s learning enables you to be more attentive.

 Repeat using your own words:- Once you are done with accelerated reading, try repeating the entire content with you own words. Keep doing this without checking on the original paper until when you will be able to describe the whole content. Using your own words sets the mind that you are making your own text and so it will be alert and focused.
