What is AR? (Accelerated Reader)

Accelerated Reader is a computer based supplemental reading program we offer to encourage students to become lifelong readers. The classroom teacher sets goals for each student using information from the STAR reading test. This reading test determines a reading range based on individual performance. The books in our library that have quizzes available are marked by a color code for reading levels. Students are encouraged to check-out books/titles that have an AR quiz available within their personal reading range. The library has free flow times everyday for those who have finished their books and want more. Ask your student about AR!
