Accelerated Reading

Accelerated Reader is a software program created by Renaissance Learning and used in many schools to encourage reading. How the program is used in an individual classroom may vary from one school to the next.

Students read a book at his/her reading level, then take a test on the computer. Questions include vocabulary and comprehension for the story, and students earn points based on the number of questions they answer correctly. For more information contact your child’s school, or talk with your child’s teacher.

The Plainfield COmmunity School Corporation is now making every test available for students to take. To look for a book with an AR test, go to the Quiz Store at the AR website.

All AR tests are taken at school. They are not offered online, nor can tests be taken at the public library. Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library does not have all of the books on the Accelerated Reader list.

Staff has started to label the AR books to make it easier to find books at the right level. The first part of each collection is done, and all new books so that is a good place to start. The labels are purple, and have the AR reading level right on the book spine.

The Children's Room will continue to keep the traditional AR binders for now, but they are outdated. Each binder contains two lists. The first list is arranged by reading level, and goes from the lowest level to the highest. The second list is arranged alphabetically by title.
