Acclerated Reader (AR)

What is ACCELERATED READER (AR)?

All learning starts with reading. It’s a skill and, as with every skill, it requires not just instruction but practice.  AR serves as the practice component of a comprehensive reading program by promoting personalized practice combined with data to monitor and manage that practice.  With more than 70,000 nonfiction titles, it's easy to integrate content-area reading practice as well.

• Motivate students for learning. Self-selected reading at students' independent reading levels results in success, which spurs enthusiasm, higher attendance, fewer discipline problems, and better attitudes. Students will be motivated to read constantly.
• Receive reliable, objective information. The data covers reading comprehension of fiction and nonfiction reading, vocabulary development, literacy skills development, and more.
• Prepare students for college and career. Students engage in substantial amounts of reading practice and receive immediate feedback. As a result, scores improve on state tests and more students master standards—research proves it.
• Keeps all students challenged. Students are guided to books where the level of difficulty is neither too hard nor too easy—the level at which optimal learning takes place.
