Students are using the Accelerated Reader (AR) program more and more every day! 
The goal for AR is to encourage independent reading and comprehension. The test students take independently should be on books in their Lexile range. Please help us by reminding your child to read every day in a quite environment without distractions and to take tests as soon as they finish the book. Tests can only be taken at school. Thank you so much for your support!
