What is Accelerated Reader?
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a program designed to encourage students to read. The
AR program tests students’ comprehension of books they have read using an online
computer program.

Goals and Points
Your child will be assigned a “points goal” each 9-weeks. Their goal is determined by
their teacher according to their individual reading level. Almost all books in our
library have tests available. The reading level is marked on each book. Each book has
a point value, which is the maximum number of points your child can earn if he/she
scores a 100% on the quiz.

Are there tests on books from home or from the public library?
Yes! We subscribe to the online program which means we have access to every AR
test available! Visit http:arbookfind.com to see if your book has a test available

When can my child take tests?
AR tests can only be taken at school.

Does my child have to answer every question correctly to get points?
To get the full number of points available for that book, all questions must be answered
correctly. Partial credit is awarded for answering most of the questions correctly.

How can I find out how many points my child has?
You can track your child’s progress by logging into AR Home Connect using your child’s
ID # and password: Renaissance Website

Million Word Readers
Any scholar who has read and tested on at least a million words (according to AR) will
receive recognition at the end of the year.
