An overview of our Accelerated Reading Program

     Accelerated Reader is a program teachers use as an enhancement program. Students are given a STAR test which is a diagnostic reading assessment tool. This helps the teacher establish a reading range for that student, and then the student can choose a book that can be successfully read.

      When the student has finished the book, they may go to the computer and take a reading test on that book. There can be from five to twenty questions on the test. After taking the test, the student will be given a score on how well they performed on that test. The teacher, student, as well as the parents, can use this as a guide to how well that student is doing on comprehension.

      We have several books here in the library, that we have purchased AR quizes for. To choose a book with a AR quiz, the student needs to look for a yellow or orange dot located on the spine of the book. Also under the dot, they can look to see what reading range the book is, and also the AR points they receive for successfully taking the test.

      This page will allow you to see what quizes are available. Please don't hesitate to ask Ms. Jackson any questions you may have. I am very familiar with this wonderful enhancement program.
