We will be utilizing the Accelerated Reader (AR) Program at Shawnee again this year. This program is linked to the STAR tests that students were already taking. The results of those tests will provide a recommended level of books students should be reading to help them become better readers.

As students read books, they will be encouraged to take an AR quiz over the book. The goal is to score an 85% or higher on the quiz. Research shows that students who read at least 15 minutes a day and score at least 85% on their AR quizzes will raise their reading level above those who don’t read every day and take the quizzes. Therefore, we will be encouraging students to read each day and take quizzes as they finish the books. Points are awarded for each quiz based on the book and the quiz score.

Students can access these quizzes at home from the Shawnee Website:

1. Choose the “Menu” button near the top right of the home page.

2. Scroll down to “Links.”

3. Choose “AR Quizzes” to access the sign-in page.
