The Accelerated Reader, or AR, is a learning information system that enables freestanding computer-assisted
assessment of student comprehension of “real” books.
What is the Accelerated Reader Program?
The Accelerated Reader is a curriculum-based assessment tool that provides a
summary and analysis of results
to enable teachers to monitor both the quantity and quality of reading practice engaged in by their students.
Students administer comprehension tests voluntarily themselves, and the system is intended specifically to have
strong formative effects on subsequent
learning.
After reading, the student goes to the computer and takes a multiple-choice
comprehension test on the book's
content. Tests may have 5, 10, or 20 questions, depending on the length and difficulty of the book. The computer
scores the test, awards the student points
based on the results, and keeps a complete record.
