The first-grade students of the Pittston Area Primary Center gathered to celebrate their Accelerated Reading achievements for the school year.

The Accelerated Reader program is a computerized program that tests reading comprehension. Students select books on their reading level, read independently and take an independent comprehension test on the computer. Each book is worth a certain number of points based on its length and reading level.

Students get a percentage of these points based on how many of the test questions they answer correctly. Students were recognized for achieving a point club.
