 \nSee Every Student.  \n# A Parent's Guide to Accelerated Reader\n\n## What is Accelerated Reader?\n\nAR is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children's independent reading practice.Your child picks a book at their own level and reads it at their own pace.When finished,your child takes ashort quiz on the computer.Passing the quiz is an indication that your child has understood what has beenread.  \nTeachers may assist pupils by:  \n1.Guiding them to books appropriate to their ability and interests  \n2.Asking probing questions as your child reads and before quizzing  \n3.Pairing your child with others,reading with or reading to your child.  \nSince they are reading books at their own reading and interest levels,most children are likely to be successfuland enjoy the books and quizzes.Best of all,they learn and grow at their own pace.  \n## How can I help my child become a better reader?\n\nAs with anything,performance improves with practice.According to Renaissance Learning's research,childrenwho read at least 20 minutes a day with a 90%comprehension rate on AR quizzes see the greatest gains.Encourage your child to read at home,discuss books,ask questions about what they have read,and visit yourlocal library.  \n## What is a Star Reading test?\n\nStar Reading is used to determine your child's reading level.It is a computer-based reading assessment thatuses computer-adaptive technology.Questions continually adjust to your child's responses.If the child'sresponse is correct,the difficulty level is increased.If the child cannot answer a question or answers  \nincorrectly,the difficulty level is lowered.The test uses multiple-choice questions and takes approximately 20minutes.  \n## What is a Book Level?\n\nBook Levels are reported using the ATOS'\"readability formula and represent the difficulty of the text.Thelevels range from 0.2-13.5.Books are chosen based on the ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development)recommended for each pupil by Star Reading  \n## What is a Zone of Proximal Development(ZPD)?\n\nZPD is the range of books that will challenge a child without causing frustration or loss of motivation.Your childwillreceive a ZPD,or reading range,after taking a Star Reading test.It is important for children to read with ahigh degree of comprehension and within their ZPD.  \n## What are points in AR?\n\nEvery book that has an AR Reading Practice Quiz is given a points value.AR points are based on the length ofthe book(number of words).Pupils earn a percentage of points based on how wellthey pass the quiz.  \n## What is an Interest Level?\n\nThe Interest Level indicates which age group a book is appropriate for,based on content and themes.Theseare recommendations only and parents/teachers are recommended to use their best judgement when guidingpupils.  \n| Interest Level   | Age   |\n| --- | --- |\n| LY-Lower Years   | 5-8   |\n| MY-Middle Years   | 9-13   |\n| MY+-Middle Years Plus   | 12+   |\n| UY-Upper Years   | 14+   |\n\nThe examples above have a book level of 4.0 since both have short sentences and simple vocabulary.However,Noughts and Crosses is intended for older students(Upper Years),while Roald Dahl's TheEnormous Crocodile is intended for Lower Years.  \n## How can I find further information?\n\nYour child's school can help you to find out about your child's progress,for example,through the TOPs reportor the Home Connect website.Visit AR Bookfinder at www.arbookfind.co.uk to conduct a search of all bookswhich have an AR quiz
