Accelerated Reader and STAR Reading
Our students have access to Accelerated Reader, a computerized comprehension program. Students select materials based on their reading levels, read books at their own pace, take tests, and receive immediate feedback.
The library also has STAR reading. This software enables students and teachers to measure reading levels by taking interactive, computer-based tests. STAR continually adjusts to the student's responses on the test.
