What is Accelerated Reader (AR)?
AR is a program that helps teachers and librarians manage and monitor a child’s independent reading practice. Students pick a book at their level and read it at their own pace. When finished, students take a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that the student understood what was read.) AR gives feedback based on the quiz results, which is used by teachers and librarians to help students set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.
For more information, please visit the Parent's Guide to Accelerated Reader [PDF format].
Every title in the Fairfield Magnet Library with an AR quiz has a colored dot on its spine that indicates the reading level of the book. For example, a yellow dot means that the book is most appropriate for students reading on a 2.0 - 2.9 reading level.
A quiz label (see example below) is also placed on the back cover of each book to provide additional information.
5469 = AR quiz number/ EN = quiz is in English
ATOS BL = Book level
Points = Number of pts. possible (if all questions answered correctly)
LG = Lower Grade (best for K-3rd) or MG = Middle Grade (4th-5th)
