 * Sixth Grade AR Guidelines **

The basic Book Bingo chart is below; however, the other components will be posted as they are introduced to the students.

|| **Public Document**   **(speech, letter, etc.) (no AR)**  ||  **Fantasy (Fairy tale / Folk tale) or**   **Science Fiction (AR)**  || || **Historical Fiction (AR)**  ||  **Narrative Nonfiction or**   **Short Story Collection (AR)**  || **(AR)**
 * **Realistic Fiction (AR)**
 * **Comic (no AR) or**  **Graphic Novel (AR)**
 * **Informational Nonfiction**
 * (If you choose the “You Wouldn’t Want to Be . . .” **
 * series, you have to read 3 of them. OR . . . Read **
 * one of them and some other informational **
 * nonfiction book. In other words, you can’t just **
 * read those--branch out.) ** || **Poetry (AR)**  ||  **Magazine Article (no AR)**  ||

You will receive full credit for your AR requirement for the quarter if you get a “bingo” on this book bingo card. (To get a bingo, read at least one thing from each box in a row of 3 boxes--either across, down, or diagonally.) If you get a bingo twice (2 rows of 3 that do not overlap), you get a small surprise and full credit. If you get a “blackout,” you get a big surprise and full credit. (A blackout means you read something from every square.)

AR Points Guideline (Alternate grading scale)

While I prefer that you participate in the “Book Bingo” challenge, I understand that you may find yourself with a book deficit if you choose to read a longer text (example: Harry Potter). If you find that you are unable to complete a “bingo,” I will grade you based on the following scale. Remember, you will not be eligible for prizes if you choose to skip the bingo board.

Also, even if you do NOT participate in the “Bingo Challenge,” you will have to read non-fiction every quarter. If you do not complete at least one quiz on a non-fiction text, you will have FIVE points deducted from your total grade.
