Our school participates in the Accelerated Reader program for grades 1-5. Students will take a STAR test on a Chromebook. This will give them a nine weeks' goal and a range of books to check out depending on how well they performed on the test. Students may check out two books per week from the AES library in his/her individual level. The student will receive incentives when he/she meets the point goal as well as maintaining at least 80% accuracy on AR quizzes. Each quiz has a variety of comprehension questions for the student to answer from the book which they read. A parent letter which details how to access AR progress is sent home when students are starting the AR program each year.
