Accelerated Reader (AR) refers to a specific programme that is used in schools to promote independent reading and assess reading comprehension. It's not about quickly scanning text, but rather a system that:

• Matches students with books: It helps students find AR books suited to their reading level and interests.
• Encourages reading: Students are supported to choose books they enjoy, fostering a positive association with reading.
• Measures comprehension: Quizzes after reading ensure students understand the material.
• Tracks progress: Teachers monitor student progress, and the software offers reporting tools to assist with this.

This personalised approach aims to make students stronger, more engaged readers and giving a wide choice of enticing books at each level, encourages reading for pleasure.

All Accelerated Reader packs will be supplied with free stickers which display the book title, book level, points level and quiz number for your convenience.
