Accelerated Reading
The Accelerated Reader program is used at Timothy in Kindergarten through 12th grade to motivate students to increase their personal reading.
“AR” is a computer program in which students take a factual, multiple- choice test on a book which they have read. Tests are taken in the libraries. Students receive points based on the length and difficulty of the book, and how well they answer the questions. Teachers use the program to check comprehension, and grades 3-12 have a reading requirement based on points earned through the Accelerated Reader program.
