The Accelerated Reader (AR) Program provides teachers and children a fun and exciting way to promote reading at home and in the classroom.

Accelerated Reader (AR) software installed in the classrooms and computer lab allows students to take in-class quizzes on books they have read for points. Each book has a designated reading level as well as point value. Students receiving Accelerated Reader awards are honored with a certificate at the Student of the Month assemblies.

Accelerated Reader:

• Helps kids get excited about books
• AR helps students focus attention on careful reading of books, which improves students critical-thinking skills and builds the intrinsic love of reading.
• Provides teachers with reliable, objective information
• Enables teachers to monitor both the quantity and quality of reading practice engaged in by their students.
• Helps to keep students challenged
• Using AR, students can read appropriate books within their zone of proximal development (ZPD). This ensures that every student is challenged without being frustrated.
