Accelerated Reader is an online comprehension based program that we use in grades 2 - 5. Students read books and can login to Accelerated Reader to take quizzes on the books they read. Students earn points for successfully answering questions on the quizzes. Prizes are earned throughout the year for earning Accelerated Reader points. Students can earn prizes for reaching our 100 pt, 200 pt, 300 pt, etc. clubs.
Students are also working towards their grade level yearly Accelerated Reader goal. If they achieve this goal, they will earn the big prize at the end of the year! In the past this has been their pass to get into the Carnival at the end of the year. In order to make it to the carnival, students must earn the following in points:
2nd Grade - 50 pts.
3rd Grade - 65 pts.
4th Grade - 75 pts.
5th Grade - 85 pts.
Students access Accelerated Reader on their device through LCPSGo. They may only take quizzes between the hours of 7:30 - 2:45 Monday - Friday, at school. Students may only take AR quizzes at school. They may take quizzes on books that they have read or that have been read to them.
Virtual bookshelves are available to all Emerick readers through the Library Schoology page. Currently, there are virtual bookshelves for 2021-2022 Virginia Readers Choice Books, 2020-2021 Virginia Readers Choice books, Kindness books, Black History Month books, and Lunar New Year books. Not all books on the virtual bookshelves are AR books, but many are.
We love to see how many points our readers earn!
