Accelerated Reading books each have a computerized quiz that
students take after reading a book in their reading level. This
test is to see how well they have comprehended what they have
just read.
All of our AR books are marked with a dark green dot on the spine
of the book, and the reading level is marked on the inside back
cover.
The STAR test is a timed computerized test given to the students
to determine what their reading level will be for the Accelerated
Reading program.
This test is also given throughout the school year to see if the
student's reading level is improving.
Grades 2-8 will be tested on the STAR program before library
class begin, and will then be taking AR quizzes through out the
school year.
The 1st grade will begin using both of the programs after the
Christmas break. More information will be sent to their parents
closer to that time.
Teachers, students and parents are always welcome to make
suggestions for new titles for AR tests. If the title is
available, we certainly will consider any suggestions
St. Teresa has over 3400 AR tests for our students to choose
from. Levels range from 0.4 to 12.9.
There are more tests for the Fiction section, but we do have some
titles in the Non-Fiction and Biography sections.
All titles are on the St. Teresa web page. You can check by
title, author or book level. The Covedale Library also has a
print out of the titles in their Children's section
