Frequently Asked Questions about AR (Accelerated Reader)

  • What is Accelerated Reader?
    Accelerated Reader (AR) is a program that encourages reading. Students read books at their reading level and then take a test at school to earn points.

  • How many points is a book worth?
    Each book is worth points based on its length and reading level. Students get a percentage of these points based on the number of correct answers they get on the test.

  • At school, your child takes a STAR test that assesses their reading level. This test is usually taken at the start and at the end of the school year.

  • What are AR reading levels?
    Each child is assigned a reading level, based on their test results. You will search for books at that reading level.

  • How do I find out what my child’s reading level is?
    Ask your child’s teacher.

  • Who participates in AR?
    Students at all grade levels participate. The Lee County School District purchased the “universal” list in 2009, allowing children to test on a wider variety of books. Not all private schools in the area participate in AR or subscribe to the “universal” list.

  • Children take the quizzes at school. The library does not provide testing.

  • Does your child attend a Lee County public school or a private school subscribing to the universal list? If so, you can access the list of AR books at http://www.arbookfind.com/.

  • The color chart is a way for children to find AR books on their level at their school libraries. Each color corresponds to a certain range of levels. The books at your child’s school library may be marked with AR colors. Books at the public library are not marked with the AR colors.
