Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader is a program for all students who are
interested in participating in a motivational reading experience. This
program is based on the premise that practice improves reading skills
and comprehension. Through a computerized tracking system, students
are able to read books at the correct level of difficulty and demonstrate
their reading skills on specially designed quizzes which measure how
much the child recalls of what is read. The program also includes an
assessment component that provides teachers with diagnostic information
about students’ reading skills and interests.
Classroom teachers in grades 2-8 have or will be introducing
their students to AR in the near future. Teachers in K-1 will use their
judgment about student readiness and make individual decisions about
when students are ready to participate. Formal assessment of kindergarten students will not take
place before spring since they are already involved in the Companion
Reading program.
AR is all about increasing the time students read for
pleasure. The computerized tracking system is basically an electronic
version of a reading log, which students and parents may have used in
the past to record the number of pages read in an evening. The advantage
to AR is that it also gives a comprehension check and allows students
to see how their skills are improving.
