To enrich our reading program and foster a love of reading, we incorporate the Accelerated Reader into our Language Arts Program.  Accelerated Reader is a computerized reading program.   Students select books to read at their individual reading level and then take a computerized test on how well they comprehended the book.  The Accelerated Reader motivates children to read, thereby raising their comprehension, raising their reading levels, and improving their test scores.  Students set goals and challenge themselves to reach different certification levels.  Students are awarded points based on how well they do on the test.  These points are used in a variety of motivational ways.
