Accelerated
Reader is a reading supplement used at Shadow Hills. The classroom
teacher decides how best to incorporate AR into the reading program.
Students
take the Star Reading Test (a diagnostic reading
assessment tool), which gives them a reading range to help assist them
in selecting appropriate books for their reading ability. As the child
reads and test on the books, the reading range is reviewed by teacher
and can be adjusted when needed.
Shadow Hills
has a school wide goal, a grade level goal,
and goals for individuals. When students reach their first individual
goal, they earn an AR Button. Then they can earn stickers as they
continue to meet the next goals.
The Library
supports the AR Program by ordering books and
test and labeling the books for easy access. All AR books are labeled
with reading level, points, and colored coding.
