AR Reading Program
The Cassville Intermediate School uses the Accelerated Reader computer software program to monitor students’ reading. This program is individualized to work with each students reading level. The books in the library are color coded to match reading levels. Each student receives a book mark with colors on it that will help them find books in the library that should be “just right” for them to read on their own. The book color will match a color on your child’s bookmark, this is your child’s AR book.
Books do not have to come from our library-any book could possibly be an AR book (books from home, book orders, garage sales, etc.) if our school has purchased the quiz. You can check on out school website to see if we own an AR quiz for your book.
When a student completes a book, they use the computer to take a short multiple choice quiz about the book. This test checks their comprehension of the book. Students receive points based on their test scores. A test must be passed to earn points. The higher the score, the higher the points. Each student has a point goal for each quarter that is based on their reading level, and is assigned by our librarian.
Students in third grade are asked to read between 20 and 30 minutes every evening from their AR book.
Research proves that for students to be successful readers, they must practice consistently. Of course, that same idea applies to most any skill. Please help your child find time to read each evening to improve this lifelong skill.
