Accelerated Reader

Accelerated Reader (also known as AR) is a website used to assist students with reading skills. It is a digital program aiming to help students and teachers manage and monitor independent reading practice in English and Spanish. Students pick a book at their own level and read it at their own pace. When a student finish their book, they take a short quiz on the computer to check their understanding. As students read and take quizzes, they receive points depending on the book's reading level. The more difficult the book is, the more points the students receive. AR also tracks the students' progress towards their individualized Accelerated Reader goals.
