AR

AR or Accelerated Reader is a wonderful reading program that helps teachers and parents give their students/children the reading practice they need. I will set a reading goal for your child and they will be able to see their progress toward that goal. Together, you will be able to view the number of books and words read. Using AR will strengthen their vocabulary skills.

Go to the tlcs.us website and the AR icon is at the top right hand side of the home page. If you go to the tlcs.us website on your phone or iPad the AR icon is at the bottom of the home page.

Your child's login is their 1st letter of their 1st name and then the 1st 4 letters of their last name.
For example: emccu would be my login, Emily McCutchen.
If you have a student who has a sibling with the same initials, put a 1 after the last name. example:emccu1
Password: abc

If you have any questions please email me at britamitch@yahoo.com.
