WHAT IS THE "ACCELERATED READER" PROGRAM?

Accelerated Reader is a computer based supplemental reading program designed to help motivate, monitor and manage student reading practice.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

At least twice a year students are given a Star Reading Test, a diagnostic reading assessment tool. The test gives students a reading range that best fits their reading ability.

Books that have an AR test available are coded with a color dot to help students find books in their reading range. All books on AR have colored dots and reading level on the spine of the books.
