A ccelerated R eader is a reading program whereby students read a book on the Accelerated Reader list and then take a comprehension test on a computer.
Students earn points based on the percentage of correctly answered questions.
Students are pretested on a computer program entitled S.T.A.R. to find their reading level. The results of this test gives each student a reading range in which to select books. No student should select books outside of their reading range. Students may check out Accelerated Reader books from the school media center or public library. New titles are added periodically throughout the school year.
