 * What is Accelerated Reader? **

Accelerated Reader is a computerized reading management program. It is a unique system for motivating children to read. After students select and read an AR book of their choice; they take a computerized quiz. AR books are available in both our school library and my classroom library. Also, students may obtain AR book titles from home, friends, neighbors and the public libraries, etc.

Four computers are available in my room for students to use for AR quizzes. The program keeps track of all the tests taken and points earned for each participating student. The multiple-choice tests are made up of 5, 10, or 20 comprehension and recall questions. After completing the test, students are shown how many questions were answered correctly. The program shows the answers for the questions missed and awards reading points to the student’s record.

All students will have an account in order to have access AR quizzes from school. I will help students learn how to log in and access their own account. Students, as well as myself, will be able to review individual progress at any time by accessing their account.

Again, the primary purpose of the Accelerated Reader program is to motivate your child to read, read, read!  Sincerely.  Mrs. Noskowiak
