Select an AR book.
o
Choose a book from
the list – found in my classroom or the library (a red dot does not
guarantee AR)
o
Each AR book is
worth a certain amount of points. You may read any combination of number
of books/points each book is worth.
§
For example: 3
books at 5 points each = 15 points for the quarter
OR
5 books at 3 points each = 15 points
for the quarter
·
Read the book.
·
Take a quiz over the book.
o
Take the AR test on
the computer in my classroom before school, after school, during my
planning time (5th hour), or during advisory. Please schedule
a time with me.
o
As long as you pass
the AR quiz, you will receive full points for the book.
o
All quizzes must be
completed a few days before the end of the quarter – I will post this
date as it gets closer. Keep track of your own points in your planner –
I will not add up your points until the AR due date.

Tips for Accelerated Reader
DO
take the test as soon as you can after finishing the book.
DON’T
rely on movie versions of the book to get you through the test. Movies
are often quite different.
DON’T
take a test on a book you’ve already
read (it won’t let you). Do not take tests over books you read in
previous classes. It’s pretty obvious when everyone takes a test over
Hatchet.
DO
participate in AR. It is possible that you could fail if you choose not
to read. Also, it may help you improve your reading scores on
standardized tests.
