Accelerated Reader Program

Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor students’ reading practice. A student picks a book at his own level and reads at his own pace.  When finished, the student takes a short quiz on a school computer.  AR gives both student and teacher feedback based on the quiz results that the teacher then uses to help the student set goals. 

Early September students 1st-5th are STAR tested to determine their ZPD, zone of proximal development.  Students select books based on their individual ZPD.  Books may be selected from school library, home, public library, etc.  Los Alamitos Families can access Accelerated Reader thru Enterprise.  Enterprise allows students/parents to lookup books by title, by author or by quiz number.  The books in the Los Alamitos Media Center are available on www.arquizzes.com. A complete list of quizzes on Enterprise is available at www.arbookfind.com.
 

Only Accelerated Reader Enterprise offers unlimited access to more than 100,000 quizzes on books from publishers around the world. With so many fun, motivational quizzes to choose from, our students will be able to read most any book they choose—from home, from the school library, from the public library—and immediately take the associated Accelerated Reader Enterprise quiz at school. We now have unlimited access to all of the quizzes, as well as any new ones as they are created.

Accelerated Reader Enterprise offers four types of Quizzes:
  • Reading Practice Quizzes ask literal questions that measure a student’s comprehension of a book.
  • Recorded Voice Quizzes allow beginning readers to take quizzes on their own because these quizzes include professionally narrated audio.
  • Literacy Skills Quizzes ask higher-level questions that require students to apply 24 specific reading skills.
  • Vocabulary Practice Quizzes help you get students more excited about learning vocabulary.
