Accelerated Reader (AR) is used by many schools to track students’ reading comprehension. Each number range represents the reading level for each grade. For example, 3.0 represents a 3rd grade reading level. However, each child will have a reading level range determined by testing what is appropriate for them. This means that a child may be reading well beyond their grade level or still honing their skills. Everyone learns at their own pace.
How to Find AR Information at the Dover Public Library
Check the AR stickers on the book spines in the Children’s Department to see if the book is the right level for you. Each level has a different color to make it easy to spot the appropriate level. For the exact level and amount of points the book is worth, open the book to the first page and check the sticker in the top right corner.
Find AR levels online by searching titles, topics, and authors at Accelerated Reader Bookfinder.
