Sports Literacy and Accelerated Reader
![]()
Are you trying to achieve your A.R. goal? Would you like to read a story that tells you about your favorite sport or sports star? Well, here's your list and the books are not in any specific order. The following list is a list of all of the sports-related books that are in the Cleveland Elementary School library. I have three different types of lists. Books that focus on specific sports, athletes, and stories that have a sports theme. The A.R. point value on these books are not as high as say a "Harry Potter" book, but they will help you to achieve your goal and have fun reading while you do it. Have fun "exercising" your mind.
