Accelerated Reader Information

Accelerated Reader is a national program used to assist in the improvement of students’ reading ability and their comprehension of what they read.  Accelerated Reader can provide you with thousands of book choices (and quizzes) to meet your individual reading needs.  Statistics show that the more a child reads, the higher his/her performance is in all subject areas.

 This program uses a computer-based vocabulary test called the STAR test that adjusts while the student is taking the test to her/his individual reading level.  Students complete this initial testing early on in the school year. 

 Each student has been given (or will be given) a Point Goal based on their reading level which they must meet each trimester.  Please use the instructions below to help you find level appropriate books and take quizzes on those books. 

 Please note that the goal is for each student to score 85% or higher on the Reading Practice quiz.  If you score lower than this you may want to consider choosing a book in the lower end of your range.  All completed quizzes should be printed out and given to the teacher. 

 If you have questions, please see your Language Arts teacher.

Raz-Kids

Holy Rosary's Kindergarten and 1st grade classes use www.Raz-Kids.com to read and listen to books online, and to take quizzes on the books they've read online.

Raz-Kids is an online collection of interactive leveled books and quizzes designed to guide and motivate emergent and reluctant readers as well as improve the skills of fluent readers. The program consists of 85 online books, along with quizzes and worksheets. New books are added throughout the year. The website also features a management system for teachers to build rosters, assign books and review student reading activity.

The professionally developed books include sound, animation, and interactive features. Students can read or listen online as key words and phrases are highlighted. They can then take a comprehension quiz that gives students immediate feedback. The management system allows teachers to determine which books are available to each student and whether the student can read or listen to the books. It also helps teachers monitor students' reading progress.

 To log on to the website you will need your child's special login name and password, provided by your teacher.
