Explore the World of Reading: Accelerated Reading Program

At Sacred Heart School, we are committed to fostering a love for reading and helping our students become lifelong learners. That is why we are proud to include the Accelerated Reading (AR) program as part of our comprehensive curriculum.

 

What is the Accelerated Reading Program?

The Accelerated Reading Program is a proven, research-based approach to reading instruction that helps students improve their reading skills through personalized practice and assessment. It is designed to engage students in independent reading while providing teachers with valuable data to track progress and tailor instruction to individual student needs.

How does it work?

In the AR program, students choose books at their appropriate reading level and read them independently. After completing a book, they take a short comprehension quiz to assess their understanding. These quizzes are designed to provide immediate feedback to both students and teachers, helping to identify areas for improvement and track growth over time.

Benefits of using AR:

  • Encourages independent reading: The AR program motiveates students to read independently by allowing them to choose books that interest the, while providing accountability through comprehension quizzes.
  • Personalized learning: By tracking each student’s progress and comprehension, teachers can tailor instruction to meet individual needs of each student, whether they are struggling readers or advanced learners.
  • Promotes accountability: THe AR program fosters a sense of accountability and ownership over students’ reading progress, helping them take an active role in their own learning.
  • Celebrates achievement: Students are rewarded for reaching reading goals and achieving milestones, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride in their reading achievements.
