AR - Accelerated Reader
KCHS sees the importance of reading and uses the computer management program Accelerated Reader (AR) to help manage reading. The AR program at KCHS is web-based; we have access to all of the tests available. We recognize that our students have a vast range of reading abilities. We want our students to improve their reading skills. Tests rated LG (Lower Grades) will not be available to our students.
FAQ About Accelerated Reader
What is AR?
Accelerated Reader is a computerized reading management program. Books are given points; students take tests on books that they read. Points are given based on number of correct answers.
How are goals decided?
Goals are determined by a computer test (STAR) given at the beginning of the year, standardized tests given in the past, and teacher recommendations. Time given to read during school is also considered in goal assignment.
Do points carry over?
No, every quarter starts at zero.
Where do I get the books?
Books are available in the school library and are marked with an AR sticker. The public library is also a great place to find books.. Most titles are current and popular so many students may already own them.
I hate to read, what I am supposed to do?
The AR list has a variety of titles with both non-fiction and fiction books. There are many different reading levels. The library staff will help find books that you enjoy.
I am afraid I will read everything that library has before I graduate.
The list is constantly being added to. The library is also open to any recommendations from students and parents.
