Throughout the year you may hear students and teachers talk about the Accelerated Reader or AR program.  Students in grades K-5 have the opportunity to read books on their level and then take a test to determine their comprehension of the story.  Students may read “red dot” books independently, with a buddy or parent, or have the book read to him/her.  Not all books in the library have an Accelerated Reader test, so we put red dots on the spines to let the students know which books have a test.  On the inside of the book we include the Reading Level (RL) and the number of points (PT) the students can earn when taking a test.  The tests are taken on classroom computers and usually consist of 5-10 questions.  Students earn points based on the number of questions they answer correctly.  The points are used in several ways.  Students can use the points to purchase items at the Accelerated Reader store every 9 weeks.  Also, each classroom is part of a building-wide team that competes for different rewards each nine weeks.  A copy of the Accelerated Reader test list is available at Schimelpfenig Public Library, Thomas Elementary Library, and right below on our website.

Here is a list of Accelerated Reader Books (7607 of them) that we have quizes for.Use filters on top row before printing the list.
Not all titles will be in our library.
