What is Accelerated Reader?
AR is a program used to motivate students to increase their reading & vocabulary comprehension and guide them to independent reading. AR is the world’s most popular reading program; used in nearly 60,000 schools. There is a proven link between strong reading skills and academic success – great readers make great students! This compliments the school’s goal of having each Edgewood student read independently at least 20 minutes per day at home. At home AR tests are not permitted. Students must take tests on school campus during regular school hours.
How does AR work?
- Each student is tested & assigned a reading range & point goal.
- Students then choose an AR book or myON book based on their interest and reading level.
- When they are finished reading the book, the student takes the AR test to assess their comprehension.
- The student earns points for mastering the material on the test. They earn full points by answering all test questions correctly. (Students who average at least an 80% on tests taken are considered to understand what they read at an average level.)
- A TOPS report is posted online at HomeConnect each week if a student takes an AR test.
