Lake Carolina Elementary Media Center
Reading Counts:
We are excited about our reading incentive
program, Scholastic's Reading Counts. Students are
given the SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory)
at the beginning of the year in the computer lab, and read books in
their Lexile range. They take quizzes on their books and are
allowed a second attempt if they do not pass the first time. As
each quiz pulls ten questions from a bank of thirty questions, no two
quizzes are alike. To find out more about Reading Counts
and Lexile, visit these two websites:

Birthday/Special
Recognition Book Club: Students, faculty members, and parents
are now participating in our special recognition book club! Would
you like to donate a book to the LCE Media Center in honor of your
child’s birthday, a special occasion such as the birth of a baby, a
wedding, a teacher’s birthday, or simply to honor someone? We now
have a selection of books that you can choose from ranging in price from
$8 to $20. Simply come by the media center to select and purchase
your book. We will put a book plate in the front naming the honored
person and occasion, and we will have the child/honoree come on the
morning show to be recognized. The child can then be the first
person to check out this new book!
