General Information About Accelerated Reader

The BSSS Accelerated Reader program on the web consists of a series of quizzes on books that we have in our library, classrooms and that you may have at home. The web program also has tools that examine the student's performance on the quizzes and provides that information to the student and to the student's parents and teachers. This may seem a little overwhelming so here is some information that I hope will help clarify how the program works:

• A.R. quizzes can be taken on a computer at school or at home on a computer with web access. Renaissance Learning, the parent company of Accelerated Reader, has thousands of quizzes available that cover most of the books our children read. BSSS students now have access to all quizzes in the Accelerated Reader Library.

• Each book that a child reads and takes the quiz on is worth a pre-determined number of points according to the complexity and level of the book. Students earn points for each book/quiz completed.

• Students should only take a quiz after reading and logging an entire book. They should not be taking quizzes on any other books including books that they read previously.
