The Moye PTO believes that Reading Counts!
What is Reading Counts?
Scholastic Reading Counts! is a reading program that encourages independent reading. Students are encouraged to read books and then take quizzes on the computers at school. The students earn points that count toward achieving Reward levels for prizes.
How can my child find a book that qualifies as a Reading Counts book?
In the Moye library and most classrooms, Reading Counts books are marked with colored dot stickers on the spine of the book. These dots indicate a Reading Counts quiz is available and the approximate grade level of the book.

= 1st |  |
= 2nd |  |
= 3rd |  |
= 4th |  |
= 5th |  |
= Above 5th |
Inside the front cover of the Reading Counts book is a sticker with the Reading Counts information, such as the title, author, RC points, grade level and lexile level. There are over 40,000 quizzes available! Not all of these books are in the Moye library, but we do have a large selection.
If your child is reading a book that is not from Moye, you can check the Reading Counts Book List to see if a quiz is available.
How does a student earn points?
After the student has read the book, a quiz is taken on the school’s computer system as class time allows. Each test is pass/fail so the student must answer 7 out of 10 questions correctly to earn the points for reading that book.
How does a student earn prizes?
At the end of each month, points are tallied for each student. If a student has earned enough points to reach a RC level, the prize is sent to the student in the classroom.
