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!

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.
