Text Box: Accelerated Reader

The Accelerated Reader Program is a reading program designed for students in grades 1st through 12th. Accelerated Reader is easy for students to use. The student selects and reads a book from the school quiz list . Then, sits down at the computer and takes an Accelerated Reader Reading Practice Quiz. The computerized test has 5,10, or 20 multiple-choice comprehension questions. Accelerated Reader computes the student’s score, adds the results in the Accelerated Reader database, and generates the TOP’S Report, which provides the student with immediate information on his or her performance. The feedback is in the form of reading points. The program awards points on   length and difficulty of the book and on student comprehension. Teachers use these reading points to measure the students performance and rate their progress. Quality, quantity, and reading level are the basis for Accelerated Reader Program.
