Reading Practice Certifications Record Book Reader certifications are milestones that recognize students reading achievements. You use the Reading Practice Certifications Record Book to set certification goals for your students and then monitor your students progress toward achieving those reader certification levels. Note: If you enable the TWI Monitoring Preference (see page 165), the program automatically tracks your students progress toward the certification goals you set and awards the certifications that they achieve. Reading Practice certification goals are different from the Reading Practice goals you can set for your students those goals are set in the Reading Practice Goals Record Book; see page

39 R ECORD BOOKS Reading Practice Certifications Record Book Reader Certification Levels There are seven reader certifications your students can earn that the program can automatically track, plus one additional certification that the program does not automatically track. When students take Reading Practice Quizzes on books, they must achieve the minimum scores set in the Certifications Preferences in order for the quizzes to count toward certifications (see page 165). Ready Reader: The student must accumulate five points on books Read To, Read With, and/or Read Independently. We recommend a student recertify no more than five times at the Ready Reader level. Independent Reader: The student must independently read three books with a 1.2 or higher book level and accumulate ten points. Only books Read Independently count toward the three-book goal; however, books that are Read To, Read With, or Read Independently for this level all count toward point accumulation. When a student achieves this certification, teacher approval is needed. Students cannot recertify at this level; Independent Reader status is achieved only once. Rising Reader: The student must independently read three books with a 1.6 or higher book level and accumulate ten points. Only books Read Independently count toward the three-book goal and point accumulation. We recommend that a student recertify no more than five times at the Rising Reader level. Super Reader: The student must independently read three books with a 2.0 or higher book level that are each worth at least one point. Only books Read Independently count toward certification. We recommend that a student recertify no more than five times at the Super Reader level. dvanced Reader: The student must independently read three books with a 3.0 or higher book level that are each worth at least two points. Only books Read Independently count toward certification. We recommend that a student recertify no more than five times at the dvanced Reader level. Star Reader: The student must independently read three books with a 4.0 or higher book level that are each worth at least four points. Only books Read Independently count toward certification. We recommend that a student recertify no more than five times at the Star Reader level. Classic Reader: The student must independently read three books with a 6.0 or higher book level that are each worth at least seven points. Only books Read Independently count toward certification. We recommend that a student recertify no more than five times at the Classic Reader level. Honors Reader (not tracked in R): The student must independently read books from a special list of challenging literature (created by your teachers and librarians), and accumulate 100 points from the quizzes. The students log into the program and take the quizzes; however, the teacher must manually track everything else for this certification level. Useful reports for monitoring an Honors Reader are the TOPS Report (see page 157) and the Student Record Report (see page 156). 31
