Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader is an excellent program where students take online tests on books they have read recently. I have found that participating in the program motivates students to monitor their reading comprehension. Since it is web based, the selection of AR books is huge. Students are enjoying choosing AR books from our school library every Thursday and are asked to take at least one AR test by the following Wednesday. (If they are reading a longer chapter book and need more than a week to finish, they just need to show the book to Mrs Hartley and can have more time.) When your child is ready to take a test, please just have them tell Mrs. Hartley in the morning and they can take the test on their Chromebook in the classroom! The program is set up so that students can only take the AR tests during school hours. The Accelerated Reader Program is a great way to improve your child's reading fluency and comprehension! Students will keep track of their AR points and set goals for in their Personal Mastery Folders! They will also be able to earn AR prizes in our classroom!
