How Does the AR Program Work?
Select a book from the library Based
on his/her individual interests and reading levels, your child chooses a book
from thousands of Accelerated Reader titles. All AR books in our school library
are labeled with a “blue dot.” You may also check out books at the public
library or buy books from bookstores. Scholastic book orders also
identifies Accelerated Reader books in each catalog.
Read the book Your
child reads the book at his/her own pace. Students may read their book at home
or at school.
Take and AR test
After reading an AR book your child takes a computerized test. Tests consist of
multiple choice comprehension questions from the book. The computer immediately
scores the test, shows the number of correctly answered questions, and updates
your child’s record. Points are then awarded based on how well the student
did. As the students earn points they get closer to reaching their AR goal that
is set for each month.
