8,000+ quizzes are available with more titles added to the Reading Counts program each year.
All library books with a Reading Counts quiz have a label on the spine that shows the points available, the reading level, and the lexile. Most classroom have their books labeled the same way.
If a student has a personal book or one from another library, we can look up the title to see if a quiz is available and how many points it has.
If the book is a recent publication a quiz may not be available for a couple months until the quiz can be added to the data base.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND
Scholastic Reading Counts! is based on years of reading research that shows that students who read more achieve more. At Lincoln School, Scholastic Reading Counts! gets our students reading on their own and provides an easy way to manage and assess their independent reading. At present, we have almost 8,000 quizzes with more books being added each year!
Surrounding students with a wide variety of leveled literature and nonfiction texts in the classroom, in the school library, and at home is a great start to creating lifelong readers. With Scholastic Reading Counts! students have a Lexile®-based independent reading program that tracks their success on the books they read, in and out of school. This technology-based program creates a personalized and engaging learning environment that ensures independent reading accountability.
What’s It All About?
The Reading Counts program is designed to ensure reading success for all students. (Not to mentions it’s also a really cool reading incentive program!) In Reading Counts students read books at their appropriate level. Every time they pass the reading quizzes they gain points towards their goal. Each quiz is randomly generated from a bank of 30 questions that test reading comprehension and vocabulary, including a variety of literacy skill areas. Students receive immediate feedback on their performance. If they do not pass a quiz, they have up to two more opportunities to review their book and re-take a quiz with newly generated questions.
