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.
