100 Book Challenge incorporates methods and procedures for collecting data, assessing results, recognizing success and intervening if and when results are not meeting target expectations.

Teachers and principals help create a school-wide reading culture. They ensure that each student receives feedback, recognition and reward for his or her achievement as an independent reader. Principals serve as the “head coach”, primary role model and director of literacy marketing, focusing the entire school community on volume of reading practice as a leading indicator of future school and life success.

KidPACE, a computerized data tracking and analysis tool, allows you to monitor reading performance levels in your school---with ease and accuracy. This proprietary software was designed by schoolteachers to facilitate the methods used to track reading progress, analyze results, identify struggling readers and celebrate successes. KidPACE requires each teacher to spend just 10 minutes per marking period to update progress for their classroom…KidPACE does the rest. KidPACE makes assessment and accountability a quick and easy process.

Performance is also tracked using the on-target calendars which provide weekly goals for the cumulative number of hours (or steps) needed to reach 100 hours for the year. Calendars are distributed to schools and on-target badges are worn by principals and teachers to publicize goals and expectations.
