Accelerated Reader

Scroll down for the list of English III and English IV Required AR books this semester. Take note of due dates!

Remember, the most important part of the AR program is reading in your "zone" and being successful on the AR test for each book your read.

AR Scoring Formula:

Add the numerical value of the following elements:

1. Average percent correct on tests (must be 85% or above for full credit)

2. Average percent correct on tests (must be 85% or above for full credit)

3. Reading in or above prescribed reading "zone"

4. Points earned v. Points required

Divide the total by 400. This is the nine weeks percentage score for AR.

Example:

If a student scores an average of 87% on all AR tests and is reading in his or her "zone", but only earns 8 out of 10 required points:

100 + 100 + 100 + 80 = 380

380/ 400 = 95% score for AR
