Accelerated Reader Program

The Accelerated Reader program combines the use of great children's literature with the use of computer software to test comprehension. AR is a fun way to encourage students to read.

Working with the Accelerated Reader Program is as easy.

1. Select a book - students choose an AR book (the AR books have a yellow dot on the book's spine) from the Media Center.
2. Read the book - students read the book at their own pace.
3. Take the test - students take a test consisting of 5-10 multiple choice comprehension questions on the computer.
