With the Accelerated Reading program students will be evaluated on a personal level to help them achieve their greatest potential in reading. AR will be used to quiz students after finishing novels and keep track of their progress. After completing a novel, students will write up a one-page book report on what they read and share that in a group discussion.======

2. Once a student completes a book in its entirety, he or she takes an AR Reading Practice Quiz on the computer. This quiz assesses general comprehension of the book just read. These quizzes are called TOPS reports that measure their progress.======

3.Accelerated Reader scores the quiz, keeps track of the results, and generates reports. This data is used to monitor each student’s practice, guide students to appropriate books, and target instruction.======

The book reports won’t be a summary of the novel but it will be about a symbol in the novel, a character they wanted to evaluate or give an example of an allegory or allusion. Because the reading quizzes are meant to test their comprehension, the book reports are to develop their skills in analyzing a novel.======

There will also be time set aside for students to have book discussions. They can use their book reports to present what they have read to their group or they can make up their own presentation. These discussions will be every few weeks and if a student hasn’t completed their novel in time they may create a book report on what they have read so far.======
