How Does Accelerated Reader Work?
Students make their
own choice from more than 14,000 titles on the Accelerated Reader book
lists. The titles range in reading level from first grade through
high school. Plus, there are plenty of "high/low" selections for
hesitant and remedial readers. These books are already in the collections
of most school and public libraries.
Students then read
their books at their own pace.
The 5, 10, or 20 question multiple-choice test is carefully designed to verify that the student has read the book. With the test completed, the computer instantly reveals how many questions he or she answered correctly, and awards reading points based on the book's length, reading level, and number of correct answers. If the student passes the test, the teacher can rest assured he or she has read the book.
