Accelerated Reader is a tool for measuring reading comprehension.  The student selects a book at his or her reading level from a collection of several hundred books.  After carefully reading the book, the student takes an objective test in the classroom on the computer.  The questions are multiple choice with four answers choices for each question.  Tests range from five to ten questions.  The test is scored immediately and, if the student receives a 60% or better, the student is shown the incorrectly answered questions and the correct answers.  The score for the test is printed and sent to the teacher and the child gets another book.  The students look forward to using the computers and really enjoy being in the Accelerated Reader Program.  It is easy to operate and they very quickly become independent in using it.
