Welcome to the WM Kennedy Media Center
reading-is-fun

Welcome to Walter M Kennedy Elementary Media Center. We are excited about the new books and e-books we are adding to our library. Please have your child show you how to locate various titles on our Kidzviz site. AR is as easy as 1-2-3!

First, read a book. Second, take a reading quiz at school, and third earn points based on their performance. Once students reach their grade level goals and maintain a certain % in comprehension, they will be a part of a MYSTERY FIELD trip at the end of school. Join us in helping motivate your child to achieve this accomplishment!

Check in/check out procedures:

Literacy

Literacy is an essential part to a child's daily life. Children should read to themselves and be read to, learning and adding new vocabulary. One vital program to enhance their learning is Accelerated Reading.

Accelerated Reading is the most popular and successful reading program software of all time. AR can be incorporated into core subject areas such as science, social studies, math, and language arts. It gets children excited about reading and builds on their vocabulary knowledge. Not only does AR challenge students, it improves their attitudes for learning and help master standards.
