Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a reading program meant to give students a wide range of choice in titles and an opportunity to take a computer-generated evaluation that tracks the books read. That means no written forms/reports to complete after reading a book! That means more time to read for fun!

Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award
Program
Since 1992, the Black-Eyed Susan Book Award Program has honored outstanding books chosen annually by Maryland students. Hereford Middle School is excited about participating in a program which promotes life-long reading habits while encouraging students to enjoy quality, contemporary literature.
Students who have read at least three books from the list of ten nominees may vote for their favorite. Students who have read at least five books will be invited to a celebration in the media center in March. All students will receive a certificate of participation. Special prizes will be awarded to those who complete all ten books. Teachers will lead informal discussions on each book, and students will then vote for their favorite title. The ballots from across the state will be tallied, and, in May, the winner will be announced.
The books on this list have been published over the last three years; therefore they should be easy to obtain. All titles are available in the school media center and are also part of the Accelerated Reader program.
