Lincolnview kids help set record

Students at Lincolnview Local Schools engaged in valuable reading practice and took part in setting a new national record in “Read The Most from Coast to Coast,” on March 1. Students contributed to a new national record of 4,409,622 Accelerated Reader quizzes passed in one day. As part of this event, the Web-based program tracked quizzes passed nationwide and shared results in real time with an online quiz counter.

“Read the Most from Coast to Coast” enabled students to take part in a shared reading adventure while becoming better readers,” said June Young, third grade teacher. “Seeing real-time progress toward the goal was fun for students and they enjoyed being part of a national effort. They were really excited when they topped last year’s quiz-taking record.”

Thanks to all of our students who participated by taking a quiz on March 1. We had a total of 150 students take an Accelerated quiz in order to help set the new national record.
