Accelerated Reading
Accelerated Reading (AR)/Reading at Home Log
In order to build fluency and comprehension, it is very important that children read each day. During school hours, our students have the opportunity to read for at least 60 minutes a day. They read AR books and then take a test on these books on the computer. The books are levelized (you may hear your child say that he/she is on a certain color of "dot"). As your child makes several 100's on his/her level, we will move them up to the next level. You should see marked improvement in your child's reading ability as the year progresses.
In order to further build your child’s fluency and comprehension, I ask that you read at home each day with your child for 20 minutes. Please record what your child has read on the “reading at home log.” When it is full, I will take up this log and give your child a new one.
Many parents have asked me how to check books that you may already have at home in order to see if the books are AR. There is a website that you can access from home that will allow you to check your books. This website is www.arbookfind.com.
