Accelerated Reader (AR) is a supplemental reading program that many schools in the Boise School District use to supplement the district reading program.

The STAR reading test that the students take, can make a recommendation concerning a reading level for each student.Based on that recommendation (and what the teacher knows about the student's abilities) the teachers encourage their students to choose books that are appropriate for them.This helps the students to find books from the library, that will help them to be successful and to improve their reading.

Books that are a part of the AR program have all been labeled.There are different stickers for each level which helps guide the students to easily find books in their level. (Not all books are a part of the AR program.)

The AR program works in the following way:

Students read an AR book, and then they can take a quiz on that book.This is a great way to measure if they comprehend what they are reading.The goal is that they do well on the quiz, and their reading ability continues to increase which helps them to be more successful in their studies in the classroom.
