An Overview of Our Accelerated Reader Program
Accelerated Reader is a computer based supplemental reading program
designed to help motivate, monitor and manage student reading practice.
The classroom teacher sets reading goals for each student
using information from the STAR reading test (a diagnostic
reading assessment tool). This reading test determines
a reading range based on individual performance. This
reading range is designed to assist the student in selecting
appropriate books for their reading ability. Periodically
the reading range is reviewed by the teacher and is adjusted
as needed.
Our library supports the AR program by purchasing
quizzes (using PTA funds and other donations) and labeling
the books for easy access. Library books that have Accelerated Reader
quizzes are marked with blue AR labels and are color-coded
to indicate the reading levels. These number levels
do not necessarily reflect content or specific grade level. Not
all books in our library have quizzes.
