Accelerated Reader is an individualized reading program that allows each student to move at his or her own pace and level of ability. Students read a book of their choice from the extensive test list, take a test on the computer, and earn points for correct answers. The tests are designed to measure comprehension. The more difficult the book, the more points earned.
Points accumulate and students work towards acheiving as many points as possible.
At the end of each quarter, special events are held to honor and reward the students who have reached certain pre-set levels of achievement. The Accelerated Reader Program is coordinated by Mrs. Ginny Jennings , Media Specialist. They have been responsible for organizing an AR book section in our media center so that students can find books easily. We currently have about 2,600 books that our students can read for points. We are in the process of acquiring additonal books for our students.
