Accelerated Reader is a computer program that helps adults manage and monitor students' independent reading practice. Your student picks a book at his or her own level and reads it at their own pace. When finished, the student takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your student understood what was read.) Accelerated Reader gives feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help students set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.
