  • Accelerated Reading Program
     
    Luella uses the Accelerated Reading program to encourage reading and to practice comprehension skills.  An AR book is one that your child has checked out from our Luella Media Center. There is a colored dot on the spine of the book and a sticker on the inside cover of the book that lets the student know that he/she has selected an AR book.
     
    Not all books are designated as AR books. Ask your child to explain how to tell if a book is AR. It is recommended that your child read this book at home 3-4 times to become very familiar with the content (unless it's a chapter book). After the book has been read several times please review the book with your child asking comprehension questions to ensure your child is ready to take an AR test. Reading AR books and taking these quizzes is a great way to boost your child’s reading level and comprehension.
     
    Students have many opportunities throughout the week to take AR tests and check out new books.  They should be able to read 1-2 AR books each week and take the quiz. Thank you for monitoring your child’s reading at home and encouraging AR books and quizzes.
     

    The following sites are great resources to determine the reading level of books you already have at home.
