Track Your Child's AR Progress from Home

This week in library class students learned how to log in to their Home Connect accounts. Using Home Connect, students and parents can view reading goals, points, average percent correct, and scores on quizzes. Home Connect also links to the AR BookFinder, an online search tool that allows you to find out if there is an AR quiz available for a specific book, along with the level and points of that book. Please ask your child to show you how to log in following these directions: visit our library website http//wweslibrary.wix.com/wwlibrary, click on "For Parents" and then "Home Connect". Log in using your the AR username and password your child uses at school. We hope students and parents use this helpful resource to track Accelerated Reader progress from home.
