Accelerated Reader is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor students' independent reading practice in Year 7 and Year 8. The student picks a book at their own level and reads it at their own pace. When finished, students take a short quiz on the computer by going to bit.ly/shhsread. (Passing the quiz is an indication that the student understood what was read.) Accelerated Reader gives both students and teachers feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your students set targets and direct ongoing reading practice.
