What is Accelerated Reader (AR)?• A computer program designed to encourage student reading
• AR tests comprehension using multiple choice quizzes
• Computer software provides information about student performance to teachers and parents (if desired)
• Each book has a point value, starting at 0.5 for easy books to over 10 points for some chapter books

Who participates in AR?• K-5 students
• Program is voluntary, but strongly encouraged
• Goal is to encourage students to read and recall information about what they’ve read

How do I know if a book has a test?• In this library, look at the
spine– Colored dot
– White label with AR printed on it
• Books from home and from the public library probably have tests, too!
• Check at http://arbookfind.com

Does my child have to answer every question correctly to get points?• To receive the full point value, all questions must be
answered correctly
• However, students will receive partial credit for answering most of the questions correctly
• Students must receive a score of 70% or better to receive points

Is it OK to help my child?• Reading together is always encouraged!
• I encourage students to read easy books at least twice to ensure comprehension
• K-2 students may have help reading questions, but they should be able to choose the correct answer themselves
• Students in grades 3-5 should test on their own
