What is Accelerated Reader?
Nickname: AR
Accelerated Reader is a reading assessment program where students in grades K-6 take quizes on books they have read.
The primary function of Accelerated Reader is to provide a computerized learning information system that helps to manage, motivate and assess student reading of self-selected books. AR provides a means of motivating every student to increase reading practice. Reading practice is essential to the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills that ensure a lifelong love of reading.
Thousands of quizzes have been purchased to go with our library books. The books with AR quizzes are recognized by a green sticker on the spine. Many of the books also have a white sticker on the front of the book that lists title, author, book level and point value.
Many of our teachers administer the STAR Test, a computerized reading test that assures us the student will be successful in reading his or her books independently. Accelerated Reader helps students focus on what they read, which improves their critical-thinking skills. Using Accelerated Reader, students can find books that are appropriate, and within their range of reading development. Because of this, students will be challenged, but not frustrated.
Students move to longer, harder books through a motivational reward system that encourages increased sophistication at each level.Our school promotes a reading environment where students are constantly aware of the emphasis placed on reading.
Can non-readers participate? YES! Teachers, volunteers, and parents can read AR books to the children. The next day students can take a quiz with the help of a volunteer.
Reading Practice Helps Students - Read Well And Become Well Read!
