All elementary schools in the Greater Johnstown School District participate in the Accelerated Reader program, designed to encourage reading. With hundreds of books on hand, there is something for everyone to read!

By taking corresponding comprehension tests in the computer lab, students can collect quite a few points - and each month at Glebe, our top 10 readers are posted on the stage in our AR theatre box, as are our top 10 for the entire year. As another component of Glebe’s Accelerated Reader program, a “Family Fun Night” takes place at school each month.

The Accelerated Reader Program has three easy steps to help guide students to appropriate books within their reading level: 

1. The student reads a library book or textbook series selection that is marked Accelerated Reader (AR).
2. The student takes the AR quiz on their library book selection or popular reading textbook series.
3. The student accumulate AR points for various prizes. (Prizes have not been finalized)

Each book is labeled with a specific color-coded sticker and is worth a specific point value.
 

The prizes are as follows:

• Successful completion of 1st test: Gold ribbon and McDonald's coupon

• 25 points: Green ribbon and Halloween pencil or bookmark

• 50 points: Purple ribbon and bracelet or compass clip
