Accelerated Reader Accelerated Reader is an excellent tool for improving comprehension and to monitor students’ self-selected reading. This year students will have access to all quizzes available through Accelerated Reader so they will have many choices in books to read. I will work with students to set monthly Accelerated Reader goals. The goals will be based on their reading level as determined on a STAR Reader quiz given at the beginning of the year. As soon as this test is given at school, I will send home a copy of your students’ scores for your information. The form will include a range to help you chose books at your child’s level. The website, arbookfind.com is an excellent resource for determining the level of a book. Information will be sent home regularly through conduct slips about the number of points your child needs to reach their reading goal. A montly grades will be given based on percent of goal and comprehension. On my website there is a link for “Renaissance Home Connect”. This resource lets you see all of the books that your child has read and sign up to be emailed each time that they take a quiz. I ask that all quizzes be taken at school. However, it is recommended that all quizzes be taken within 24 hours of finishing a book. So, in the case that a student finishes a book over a long weekend or a break, he or she may take a quiz by clicking on the link on my webpage.
