Using the Accelerated Reader program students progress at their own pace, and receive recognition and awards for reading and understanding.
Students read and take comprehension tests from the computer program.
The computer rewards all successes, and students earn points that can be redeemed for prizes. An important feature of this program is that students are not penalized for failure as in traditional courses. Students who are weak can participate and receive awards the same as average or above-average students. Currently the Accelerated Reader Program is being used in Grades 7 and 8.
