It is an efficient way for teachers to check that students are understanding what they read.
Most kids love taking the quizzes on the computer after each book they read.
Currently Accelerated Reader is being piloted in several Alcott classrooms. It will roll out to additional classrooms throughout the year. Students choose a book from the Accelerated Reader list that fits their reading level. They read their book during silent reading time, at home, at recess, when they are finished with assignments . . . Students then take a short quiz on the computer.
