• What is Accelerated Reader- AR?

    AR is a computer program that helps educators manage and monitor children's independent reading practice. Children select a book at their independent reading level and read at their individual pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer.

    How are Accelerated Reader levels determined?
     
    AR points are worked out using the difficulty of the book (ATOS readability level) and the length of the book (number of words). Readers earn points depending on how well they do on the quiz. For example, a reader who takes a 5-question quiz on a book worth 1 point will earn 1 point for 5 correct answers (100%). Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.
