small medium large Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer designed reading program which is used to test your child's comprehension level of books or stories he or she has read. At the beginning of the each semester, every student will be given a S.T.A.R. reading placement test. This computerized test will give each child in our class an individualized reading range. Students will use this reading range to select AR books from the library or classroom. A student will be required to read and test within his or her own reading range. The Accelerated Reading program is designed to lock children out of tests out of their reading range, and tests previously taken. Once your child reads an Accelerated Reader book, he or she may test on it. Testing may be done on the classroom computer or in the computer lab. Following the test, the computer will display the percentage of questions answered correctly. Your child will then be awarded 10 points for passing their test. Tests with a score of 60% or less will receive no points and the student's monthly requirement will not be met until they read another book and pass another test. Periodically, a printout of the books read and tests taken will be included with you child's progress report. Students will be required to test on and pass one AR book each month. He/She may certainly take more than one test, but we give points for only one passed test on the progress report. To determine if a book has a corresponding test in our data base or to check for the reading level of a book, log on to the address below and search the "Quiz Store" for your title. Don't worry, you don't have to buy anything. http://www.renlearn.com/store/ Students will also be required to submit one written report on a nonfiction book per month. An easy way to fullfill this assignment is to use the computer-aided writing lesson found at the Schools for Champions website. http://www.school-for-champions.com/writing/bookreport.cfm Thank you for your support with this program. Encourage your child to read daily.
