As a child, learning to read and write was an important step in life. Our parents and schools made sure reading and writing was a part of our daily routine.
Accelerated Reader-Renaissance Learning or AR, was how our teachers persuaded us to read. They made us take a reading test at the beginning of the school year that determined our reading level and what our AR goal would be. Each year our goal got higher and higher. We were to read a book, then take a ten question quiz over it in order to gain points towards our goal. If we met our goal at the end of each 6 weeks we were rewarded with Pizza Hut coupons, prizes and parties.
In Intermediate School, we had RAP class, a 30 minute class of sitting in silence, where our teacher could read us
