The primary function of Accelerated Reader is to provide you with an information system to manage and motivate student reading of self-selected books at the appropriate level within the student’s zone of proximal development. Reading practice is essential to developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities that ensure a lifelong love of reading and learning. AR  includes many new features such as goal-setting and certification, TWI, and fiction/nonfiction tracking which greatly enhance your ability to manage reading practice.

In addition, the all-new Literacy Skills tests enable you to assess 24 specific skills found in state and district language arts standards and on many standardized tests. Literacy Skills tests help teachers identify student weaknesses and target instruction so students will master state and district standards.
