WHAT IS ACCELERATED READER

Accelerated Reader is a reading enhancement program.Cynthia Mann has been using the program since 1996. We have seen much success with this program. Students are checking out many more books and reading the books.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

At least twice a year the children are given a Star Reading Test, which is a diagnostic reading assessment tool. From the results of this test, students are given a reading range which enables them to know what range of books to read that will help them become better readers while still being appropriate books to read.

After a student reads a book within his/her reading range, the student takes a computerized test. Depending on the length and level of the book, there will be from 5 to 20 questions. At the end of the test, students get a report on their tests. This report lets the student and teacher know immediately how the student is progressing.
