Million Word Challenge at ICMS
The Million Word Challenge is designed to expand vocabulary, increase Lexile levels, and help ignite a lifelong enthusiasm for reading. The Million Word Challenge at ICMS has been rich! Students at ICMS have been challenged to set a goal to read at least 1,000,000 words by the end of this school year. The rules for the competition are simple: A student chooses a book, takes and passes an AR test, and the program calculates the number of words in that particular book as well as keeps track of the total number of words the student reads. Even though this began as a year-long goal, multiple students have already reached 500,000 words, and a few are already Millionaires! Combing all three grade levels, ICMS have read a total of 30 MILLION WORDS! Can’t hide our Indian PRIDE! Way to go ICMS!
