Accelerated Reader

 

• Teacher & program developer, Judith Paul combined elements of a book list, a reading point/motivational system, and a brief test to ensure reader’s comprehension.

• Ultimate goal is to encourage higher quality reading and to instill a love of books. 

• Program is currently being used across the country and is endorsed by many educational organizations.

• Successfully used at SWE for the past 23 years!

• Students 1st – 5th grades participate by meeting their required goal per grading period in order to receive an “A” (quiz grade equivalent) in reading.

• Students may also earn a prize each time they score 100% on an AR test that is in their reading range.            

• Students will participate in a special AR Party/Incentive in the library at the end of each nine weeks if they meet their AR Goal. 

• Students select books based on their independent reading level determined by the AR STAR test which is given 4 times a year. 

• Once an AR test has been completed, it cannot be retaken.  All AR records follow students until graduation from high school.

• To check the AR list, go to www.arbookfind.com.  Simply type in your book to see if there is a test available or reading levels and points of books!
