Accelerated Reader

WHAT IS ACCELERATED READER?

Accelerated Reader is a digital program that helps students and teachers manage and monitor independent reading practice in both English and Spanish.
Students pick a book at their own level and read it at their own pace.
When students finish the book, they take a short quiz on the computer to check their understanding.
As students read and take quizzes, they earn points and track their progress toward their individualized Accelerated Reader goals.
Teachers conference regularly with students to support reading engagement, goal setting, and comprehension strategies.
