Accelerated Reading (AR) is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor students' independent reading practice.
Students take a short quiz after reading a book, and the program uses the results to calculate a reading practice score, which is used to determine the student's reading level. The program also provides teachers with data on students' reading progress, allowing them to track which books and genres are most popular among their students and to provide targeted support for struggling readers. The goal of the program is to increase reading fluency, comprehension and interest.
