The child will take test to find out his reading level.The child picks books at his own level and reads at his own pace. When finished, the child will take a short quiz on the computer. If the child passes the quiz this is a sign that the child understood what he was reading. Accelerated reader gives both the student and the teacher information based on the quiz results.The teacher then uses the result to help your child set goals and help them improve their reading skills.
Children who use AR choose their own books to read, rather than having one assigned to them. This makes reading a much more enjoyable as they can choose books that
