Student incentives grades 9-12

At Marietta High School, we believe that all students should be encouraged to read, not only for the pure enjoyment of engaging with texts, but also for the associated benefits of increased comprehension, fluency, and improved overall academic achievement that researchers connect with an increased quantity of on-level reading.

The reading progress of our students is measured by the accumulation of Marietta Points. Marietta Points may be earned in a number of ways, including completing writing activities and/or passing an Accelerated Reader computerized test with an 85% comprehension rate. Marietta Points will yield a single semester grade recorded by the student's English teacher. The target for 9th, 10th, 11th , and 12th graders is 15 Marietta Points per semester. All students who have reached or exceeded their reading requirement will receive their incentives that day in English classes. In addition, a Reading Reward party for students who have earned 50 or more Marietta Points will be given at the end of the school year. All points for incentives are cumulative throughout the school year. There is no limit to the number of points that can be earned.

Parents can support their children by encouraging them to read for at least 15 minutes at home each night.
