This is a great time of year to check if students have any library books that have been checked out longer than 1 month. Students are able to log in Launchpad and open the library research tool folder. They can click on the Follett Destiny App and then click on the words My Stuff. It will list any items checked out to the student.
Also, did you know students have access to e-books and magazines through their launchpad. They can click on the Sora app and search through hundreds of titles to read.
Accelerated Reader is Available
Accelerated Reader is a digital program that helps students and teachers manage and monitor independent reading practice in both English and Spanish. Students pick a book at their level and read it at their own pace. When students finish the book, they take a short quiz on a computer/device to check their understanding. As students read and take quizzes, they earn points and track their progress toward their individualized Accelerated Reader goals.
All students in K-5 have the ability to use AR at school or home. You can access the program by using Launchpad.
Go to: launchpad.ocps.net
In Launchpad, Click on Renaissance.
Then Click on Accelerated Reader
Type in the title of the book the student is quizzing on. Then Click Start Quiz.
Brag Tags to Collect for reaching AR Goals each Quarter
Kindergarten-2nd Grade students can earn brag tags for completing badges in the program and for 9 passed quizzes on their reading range level each quarter.
Third Grade-5th Grade students can earn brag tags for meeting their quarterly goals. Our library does have several books with an AR quiz (those are the books labeled with a dot sticker on the side of the library book). SSYRA Brag Tags are also passed out to those who take and pass an SSYRA book.
