AR and Grade Level Goals
Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader’s goal is to motivate students to increase their reading comprehension and improve literacy skills. The children read books on the AR list and take quizzes on a computer at school. These quizzes can be taken on any computer in the school during school hours.
AR Book Finder
Accelerated Reader Book Finder (AR Book Finder) is a place where students, teachers, parents, and librarians can search for books using criteria such as Lexile Level, interest, title, author, fiction/nonfiction, subject, and award-winners. You may also find information such as: the book number (useful for taking AR quizzes), reading level, amount of points students would be able to earn if they pass their quiz at 100%. Students may use this website to help determine appropriate books to read.
