Accelerated Reader is a program that monitors and increases scholars' reading levels. Scholars be able to choose a book to read based on what their reading level is. All books are approved by the teacher, so every AR book going home is readable by that scholar. Their AR log should be filled out daily, and initialed by a parent.
Every 3 or 2 weeks (depending on the quarter) scholars will take a test on the book they completed. AR is a percentage of their reading grade, so it is critical that scholars stay on top of their reading schedule, and pace themselves, so they can finish by the time it is test time.
AR Pacing:
1st Quarter: 1 book every 3 weeks
2nd, 3rd, 4th Quarters: 1 book every 2 weeks
Here is a look at the ZPD levels your scholar should be checking out from the library.
