An overview of our Accelerated Reading Program

Accelerated Reading is a reading enhancement program. Students at Pierce Park are checking out and reading more books.

Students are given a STAR test which is a diagnostic reading assessment tool. This establishes an individual reading range that helps the child choose a book that can be successfully read.

After the student reads the book, he/she goes to the computer and takes a reading test on that book. There can be from five to twenty questions on a test. At the end of the test, students get a report to show teachers. It is a very useful measure of reading and comprehension progress.

This file will show you the Accelerated Reader tests that we have at Pierce Park. Check those books at home. You may have a great book that your child could read and test on this week. (Thank you PTO and those who supported our book fair. That is how we purchase the Accelerated Reader tests.)
