The
Accelerated Reader Program is a reading program designed for students in
grades 1st through 12th.
Accelerated Reader is easy for students to use. The student
selects and reads a book. Then, the student
takes an Accelerated Reader Reading Practice Quiz. The computerized test
has multiple-choice
comprehension questions. Accelerated Reader computes
the student's score, adds the results into the
Accelerated Reader
database, and generates the TOP'S Report, which provides the student with
immediate information on his or her performance. The feedback is in the
form of reading points. The
program awards points on length and difficulty
of the book and on student comprehension. Teachers
use these reading
points to measure the students performance and rate their progress.
Quality, quantity,
and reading level are the basis for the
Accelerated Reader Program. AR tests are to be taken in the
reading or
language arts classrooms. Only those teachers may send students to the
library to take an AR
test.
