  3. Accelerated Reader is also called:A.R. -The Accelerated Reader (A.R.) program is a computerized program that tests reading comprehension. -Students select books on their reading level, read independently or with a buddy, and take an independent comprehension test on the computer. -Each book is worth a certain number of points based on its length and reading level. -Students get a percentage of these points based on how many of the test questions they get right. -The program tracks their progress over the course of the school year.

  6. What is an A.R. RANGE Find a Book For Example: If you are in First grade your range might be 1.2 – 2.4, that means that your reading level is somewhere between a first grader in the second month of school (1.2) to a second grader in the fourth month of school (2.4). In the example above, a student would check out books with any of the following A.R. levels indicated on the spine: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 The above numbers are all of the numbers in your RANGE.

  7. Book Spine Finding a Book The Three Little Pigs A.R. 2.2 Points .05 In the example on the previous page, we had a range of 1.2-2.4, The Three Little Pigs would be an appropriate choice since it is a 2.2. Title of the Book Hint.. Sometimes it is helpful if you tell your child to ignore the decimal place. In this case they would look for a book between 12 and 24. (We just dropped the decimal point)!! That often makes it easier for the younger students. A.R. Level A.R. Point Value Main Menu Back Next Quit
