 What
is AR? (Accelerated Reader)
Accelerated Reader is a computer based supplemental reading
program we offer to encourage students to become lifelong readers.
The classroom teacher sets goals for each student using information
from the STAR reading test. This reading test determines a
reading range based on individual performance. The books in
our library that have quizzes available are marked by a color
code for reading levels. Students are encouraged to check-out
books/titles that have an AR quiz available within their personal
reading range. The library has free flow times everyday for
those who have finished their books and want more. Ask your
student about AR!

Lowell Elementary School. Not all books have quizzes and for
those of you who visit the Boise Public Library check in the
Children's Section for a list of Lowell AR Quiz Titles.

These number levels do not necessarily reflect content or a
specific grade level. We are encouraging pleasure reading
at the student's comfort reading level first. They will gravitate
to more challenging material as they gain confidence and
success.
