Students enjoy endless choice and the agency required to truly fall in love with reading, achieve mastery, and grow.
Accelerated Reader includes Reading Practice Quizzes, Vocabulary Practice Quizzes, Literacy Skills Quizzes, and Other Reading (textbook) Quizzes. Recorded Voice Quizzes are also available for emergent readers. Many quizzes are available in both English and Spanish. Accelerated Reader also includes high-interest nonfiction articles and short quizzes about those articles; if you do not want students to take Article Quizzes, you can use the Article Quiz Availability preference to turn off articles and article quizzes for your school.
How It Works in Your Classroom
A typical Accelerated Reader classroom operates something like this:
- You assign Reading Practice goals for the students. (For older students, you may also set certification goals.)
- Students either choose a book to read or read books you have assigned to them.
- Students use Accelerated Reader to search for and take the quiz for the books they have read.
- Accelerated Reader scores each student’s quiz, and the student can see the results: their scores, how many questions they answered correctly, and how many points they earned if they passed the quiz.
- You and the student discuss the quiz results.
- You can use the Accelerated Reader Record Book and reports to keep track of students' progress and overall performance. Students can see their progress toward goals and the books and articles they have taken quizzes for.
