Accelerated Reader (AR)
The Accelerated Reader Program (AR) is used in addition to the other reading programs at our school. Students choose an AR book at their reading level, read it and then take an online quiz about the book within a 48 hour period. The student and teacher receive immediate feedback about how the student scored via a printout of the quiz results.
