ACCELERATED READER BOOKFINDER

Accelerated Reader (AR) is a software assessment tool that assesses reading levels of students, suggests titles of books at that level, and then assess whether a student has completed reading the book by asking a series of quiz questions. The software provides additional information to students like reading rates and amount of reading,

First, students choose and read a fiction or non-fiction book, textbook, or magazine. Second, students take a quiz on the text they read and third, the teacher receives information that is intended to assist, motivate reading, monitor progress, and target instruction. Students can search for book titles based on authors, topics, or titles of books. Just type what you want to search for and click GO
