Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader (in district only)
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a program that encourages reading. Students take a STAR Reading test to determine their ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development). The ZPD helps define the readability range so that students can grow in reading skills with minimum frustration. When students complete a book, they can then take an AR test. Students should strive to consistently score 85% or above on AR tests. It is important that students read books that are challenging, so if a student is consistently scoring 100% on AR tests, he/she should probably find books with a higher book level in his/her ZPD. Students accumulate points for AR tests as added incentive.
