What is AR?

The Accelerated Reading Program allows students to choose their own books 
and read them at their own pace and on their own reading level ability. 
Students then take a quiz on the computer. AR's 30,000 quizzes (which we at 
CHUE have more than 7,000) help motivate students and monitor increased 
reading 
practice. Both the student and teacher get immediate, individualized 
constructive feedback to direct ongoing reading practice. Also, AR counts as 
3/5 of the Language Arts grade.

What is Guided Reading?

Guided Reading is a teaching approach designed to help individual students 
learn how to process a variety of increasingly challenging texts with 
understanding and fluency.  Our aim is to develop independent readers who 
question, consider alternatives, and make informed choices as they seek 
meaning.
