The Crusaders participate in Accelerated Reader, a powerful literacy tool that helps our students strive for excellence in literacy at their personal reading and interest level.  Crusaders become a member of one of our four great Reading Houses.  As they read toward their goal in our four report periods - The Time of Air, Earth, Fire and Water, their points are accumulated in their houses.  Each House has an advisor, a King or Queen, and the Hand of the King/Queen.  Crusaders use their points at the end of the year to purchase treasures from our AR HoARd.  To see more about our great Reading Houses, click on the shields below.
