Reading Counts!

Reading Counts is a computer-based reading motivational program that helps boost reading ability and improve test scores.  Students choose their books  from a list of titles and then take a test for each book read.  These tests are taken in the Media Center after school between 2:30 and 4:00pm.  A Reading Counts test is comprised of 10 multiple-choice questions.  If students do not receive a passing score of 70% on the first try, they can retake the test the next day with different questions.  They may only be tested three times for the same book.  All students at Archbishop McCarthy are required to read and pass at least 4 books per year.  Therefore, students should have completed  the following tests at the end of the year:  Freshmen 4, Sophomore 8, Juniors 12, and Seniors 16.  Please click on the link below to see the Reading Counts! list.
