What is Accelerated Reader?
Accelerated Reader® (AR) from Renaissance Learning™ is a computer program that helps teachers and librarians manage and monitor students' reading. The student reads a book within his assigned range and then takes a short multiple choice quiz on the computer. These results are then used by teachers and parents to direct ongoing reading practice.
With AR, the choice of books makes reading a much more enjoyable experience, rather than having one assigned. Teachers, librarians, and parents working with AR help your child choose books that are challenging without being frustrating, ensuring that your child can pass quizzes and be successful. Best of all, they learn and grow at their own pace.
So parents, get involved and suggest AR books for your child(ren) to read and monitor their progress. When they have finished the book and passed the quiz, they have that pride of achieving the goal of mastering comprehension of a book. You'll hear “I did it!” many times during the school year.
Your child has taken a STAR Reading® test to determine reading level at the beginning of the school year. A reading range has been assigned to your child based on this test. For example, with a range of 4.1 to 5.7, he or she may check out any of the books in the Learning Resource Center, however to accumulate points toward awards, s(he) must select a book within that range in the AR list. Children are retested to gauge their progress once each quarter.
