Accelerated Reader

Accelerated Reader (Ar)

AR is a program designed to improve reading skills by encouraging students to read independently. In this program, the student picks a book at his own level and reads it at his own pace. When finished, the student takes a short quiz on the computer.

Students using AR choose their own books to read, rather than having one assigned to them. This makes reading a much more enjoyable experience as they can choose books that are interesting to them.

Information may be found here for CA Elementary Accelerated Reading Goals.

Ar Home Connect

Home Connect is a tool that connects the school and home to keep parents informed of their child’s progress in the Accelerated Reader and encourages the child to practice reading at home.
