Accelerated Reader

Accelerated Reader (AR) is a reading program used by students grades 2 through 12 to boost reading ability.  A student reads a book, and after completing it, takes a short quiz on the book.  The student receives instant feedback on their quiz score, and the student's teacher is able to view quiz results and track reading progress.  Most of the books in the elementary and jr. high/high school library have A.R. quizzes, but some do not.  Click the link below to find out if a book is AR.
