Accelerated Reader is a part of the Reading Renaissance Program. The Accelerated Reader Programs is a supplemental part of the reading program at Anderson Elementary. The program integrates reading and technology. The student’s teacher sets a reading goal for each student every six weeks. The students read books from the library and then take a test of 5 or 10 questions about the book on the computer. The computer then tracks certification levels and points earned by the students. The students have their names posted on the Anderson All-Star A.R. Readers’ Clubs Wall of Fame in the main hallway when they certify at the different reading levels: Ready Reader, Independent Reader, Rising Reader, Super Reader, Advanced Reader, Power Reader, Star Reader, Classic Reader, and Honor Reader. The students earn points and are given a certificate and a star or bead for their A.R. necklaces as each level is achieved. The books are assigned points according to the difficulty of the vocabulary and the length of the book. These points may then be used at the end of the school year. There will be a school wide celebration if we reach our school goal and lots of fun activites for the students to spend their points.
