With the book completed, the student works through a computerized multiple-choice test. The program provides an instant score and immediate reinforcement in a way that's both encouraging and fun. Students make their own choice from thousands of outstanding and popular titles on the AR book lists. The titles range in reading level from first grade through high school. These widely acclaimed books are in the collections of school and public libraries.
Students read their books at their own pace.
As students grow more involved with good literature, they eagerly discuss books and recommend them to their friends. The multiple choice test, from 5 to 20 questions, is designed to verify that the student has read the book. With the test completed, the computer instantly reveals how many questions have been answered correctly, and awards reading points based on the book's length, reading level, and number of correct answers. If the student passes the test, the teacher can rest assured he or she has read the book. Special Lab Takes Students Beyond Textbooks Social studies labs in the Dougherty County School System's high schools take students beyond learning from textbooks.
