4. The Reading Plus program states that this program will greatly improve your
reading skills and increase your FSA scores in reading if you try your hardest
and complete a minimum of 40 sessions before you take the FSA. Thus, you
must put in maximum effort to see results. Prizes and recognition will be given
to students making improvements in their reading.
5. If you do not have a computer, iPad/tablet or internet access at home, you can
complete these assignments at a relative or friend’s house. Additionally, you
can go to the public library, use the school’s library during lunch, or use a
computer in your BRAG teacher’s classroom when we are finished early in class
one day or if you finish early in another class. Not having a computer,
iPad/tablet or internet access at your home is not an excuse for not completing
these assignments.
