Accelerated Reader

Accelerated Reader, or AR, is a software program that we use in our reading classes to help monitor all forms of guided reading.  
            Students read books within their zone of proximal development (ZPD).  They then take a quiz on the computer answering  questions about their book.
            The teacher can access reports on the reading comprehension skills of each student to guide instruction and help select more reading materials.
            Adamson has 7,121 AR quizzes.
            We have an AR store twice a year in the media center.  Students can accumulate AR points to purchase prizes from the AR store!
Students can access a list of our Accelerated Reader books in the Media Center.   

• We have two notebooks.  Each notebook contains an alphabetized list and a list of the books by reading levels.
• The OPAC program on the computers has an AR button.  Students can use it to search for books on their level.
• You can also access our AR lists on the Clayton County Library System.   Clayton County Library
