Orange Center Elementary Spirit Week

Accelerated Reader (AR) Program

Our school will be promoting the Accelerated Reader (AR) program this year. Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer-based reading program used in many schools to help teachers manage and monitor students’ independent reading practice. With AR students will:

  • Read books of their choice (within their reading level)
  • Take short quizzes on the computer after finishing each book
  • Earn points based on how well they do on the quiz and the difficulty of the book

Once students take their Star Reading tests teachers will be sending home information that provides students’ reading levels. Parents can encourage and assist their students with getting their AR points by ensuring they are reading nightly at home. If they do not have a library book at home, Sora is a great app they can use to find books on their level. Sora is located on their Launchpad and you can search for books based on their level.
