A note for parents.
Accelerated Reader is designed to improve pupils reading skills by encouraging them to read books at the right level for them. Once they have read the book they can then do a quiz on the book. If they pass the quiz they get points which count towards their personal target. They also get certificates and rewards. To achieve these goals it is very important that pupils read for at least 15 minutes every day.
