ACCELERATED READER: WHAT IS IT?
- Students select books appropriate for individual reading level and interests
- Read the books
- Take an Accelerated Reader Practice Quiz
- Show quiz results to their teacher
ACCELERATED READER RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT:
- Top performers read 144 times more than readers who perform at the lowest reading levels!
- 60 minutes of reading per day = greatest growth
- 45 minutes of reading per day = substantial growth
- 30 minutes of reading per day = significant growth
-
We become skilled at the activities we spend time on; however, practice must be in appropriate materials (readability level).
EACH STUDENT HAS BEEN TESTED TO FIND A ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT (ZPD).
-
ZPD is the book level at which your child can read and comprehend 95-98% of the words on a page. It is the “just right” or “recreational” reading level.
