What is Accelerated Reader?

Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer program that helps teachers and librarians manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his own level and reads it at his own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read.) Accelerated Reader gives children, teachers, and librarians feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.

In order to find the AR Quiz number for a book, click on the AR bookfinder below.  You can search for book titles based on authors, topics, or titles of books. Just type what you want to search for in the blank field and click Search.  You will then be able to sort your search results, select book titles to add to your AR BookBag, print a list of your search results, or start a new search.
