Accelerated Reader is the computerized learning information system designed to help teachers motivate, monitor, and manage student reading practice.

Each student chooses a book at his/her reading level, as determined by the STAR Reading Test, and takes a computer quiz on the books the child has read. After a student takes a quiz, he/she receives points based on the book’s point value and the level of success on the quiz the student has taken. Each student is assigned a point goal and reading level goal , also based on the STAR Reading Test score. The data for all students is managed by the Accelerated Reader program. At the end of each quarter students are recognized for accomplishing their reading goals.
