Lakewood City Schools Scholastic Reading Counts is a reading program that provides leveled, measurable, independent reading practice that motivates students to read more and become better readers. After reading a book, students take a Scholastic Reading Counts! quiz. They demonstrate completion and comprehension of the book by correctly answering multiple-choice questions. In the process, students track their progress, are accountable for meeting their reading goals, and gain a sense of accomplishment. In addition, the quizzes provide practice for standardized tests. The program features aids for guiding students to books that fit their reading level and curriculum needs.
The school system owns quizzes for many thousands of titles. Lakewood Public Library presents listings of available quizzes in pdf format for the convenience of students and their parents.
