With Accelerated Reader, you can:

• Get students excited about reading and vocabulary. Your students will be motivated to read constantly—during recess, at lunch, at home, everywhere! They’ll read carefully, thoroughly, and always be eager for more.
• Receive reliable, objective information. You’ll get valuable data on students’ library book reading, literacy skills development, vocabulary development, and more, so you can help them become better readers.
• Help every student master standards. With Accelerated Reader, students read more, thereby becoming more well read students. Scores improve on state tests and more students master standards—research proves it.
• Improve students’ attitudes for learning. Enthusiasm for reading spreads to all subjects as students experience success. Teachers using Accelerated Reader report higher attendance, fewer discipline problems, and improved attitudes about school.
• Keep all students challenged. You can continually guide students to appropriate books within their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). This means you can ensure that every student is challenged without being frustrated.
