Warsaw Christian School participated in a national reading challenge by reading almost 492 books on February 27 and passing 474 quizzes. Nationally there were 4,173,153 quizzes taken. The record set two years ago was 3,581,992 quizzes taken.

“Read The Most From Coast To Coast,” a national reading event, challenges students to join together to break the record for the number of Accelerated Reader Quizzes taken in one day.

Accelerated Reader, a reading management software program for K-12 schools, helps educators monitor and manage students’ personalized reading practice.

“Students read a book at the appropriate level and then take a quiz on a computer,” said Lois Witte, Librarian. “The quiz assesses general comprehension of the book. Accelerated Reader scores the quiz, monitors results, generates reports, and provides a platform to manage individual reading practice.”

“Read The Most From Coast To Coast” enables students to take part in a shared reading adventure, and, at the same time, show the world they understood what they’ve read. All students who take part in this nationwide challenge will be eligible to receive a Certificate of National Participation.
