Arcadia School has used the Accelerated Reader Program for several years. We believe that students learn to read by reading. Accelerated Reader is a supplement to our regular reading program*. Students choose novels and non-fiction books to read. They may use classroom or school library books, they may use books from home, or they may find books at the local library. (They may want to check whether the book is one that has an AR Test.) They may read during silent reading time at school, and they are encouraged to read at home. When finished they take tests on the computer. Each classroom has a computer with the Accelerated Reader Program. The computer scores the test, plus it keeps a record of all the books the student has read . Reports on student progress are sent home at least once each card marking period. Over 2500 tests are available. Most are purchased on disk, but more than 400 have been written by Onekama and Arcadia Teachers. AR has been proven to be a valued addition to our reading program.
*Our reading/ language program is Houghton Mifflin. This program develops reading skills. The Accelerated Reader is used to encourage the reading of additional books.
