The Accelerated Reader is a system of computerized testing and record-keeping. Its goal is to increase literature-based reading practice. The more students read the better they perform on academic achievement tests in reading. The Accelerated Reader program starts with students reading books from a list of about 8,000 titles covering a variety of subjects, cultures and grade levels.
Students take a computerized test after reading the book.
The computer scores the test after reading the book, awards points based on the book's length and difficulty, keeps track of the student's reading record, and provides reports for teachers and parents. Select a book from a list 2. Read the book 3.
