WCS Accelerated Reader Program

Using Accelerated Reader involves three simple steps:

1. A student selects and reads a book.
2. The student uses a computer to take a Reading Practice Quiz for the book.
3. The Accelerated Reader software keeps track of the quiz results and generates reports for the teacher and the student.

Students choose books from the school's Accelerated Reader book list. This list contains all the books for which the school has quizzes. Every AR book also has an assigned book level, interest level, and point value. Book level indicates the readability of the text, while interest level relates to book content. Books are assigned one of these interest levels based on publisher recommendations:

• LG = Lower Grades, approximately K5 – 3
• MG = Middle Grades, approximately 4 – 8
• UG = Upper Grades, approximately 9 – 12

Students earn points based on books' point values and how well they answer questions on the quiz. As students progress in the program, they earn reading certification levels set by the school. Students may also exchange their AR points for items sold in the school's AR Store.
