Accelerated Reader is a computerized learning system designed to help motivate, monitor and manage student’s independent reading. Books are assigned a reading level. Students take a reading assessment (STAR Reading) to determine their reading level range.

Students read a book within their range and take a quiz for that book on a computer in the school. Implementation of the program is determined by the teacher.

The program is web based and there are around 160,000 quizzes available to the students. They may not, however, take quizzes at home. Please look for a letter, soon, that will explain the Home Connection part of this program.

First graders will begin using the program in January.
