The Accelerated Reading Program has been a part of a highly successful comprehensive Language
Arts Program at Stingel Primary, Stingel Intermediate, and Ontario Middle School for several years and supports Ohio’s Content
Standards for language arts. The Content Standards include specific grade level
indicators for the following areas:
- Phonemic Awareness, Word Recognition and Fluency
- Acquisition of Vocabulary
- Reading Process: Concept of print, comprehension strategies, and
self-monitoring strategies,
- Reading Applications
- Writing Process
- Writing Applications
- Writing Conventions
- Oral and Visual Communications
The Accelerated Reading Program provides a structured process for
students to read at their independent reading level and develop comprehension
skills. Developing reading skills takes daily practice and the program enables
teachers to monitor, guide, and intervene as needed to help students become
successful readers. Through computerized tests, teachers can monitor the
students’ ability to comprehend books that the students have selected to read.
Research shows that by improving reading comprehension levels, students become
better readers and writers. Teachers also use the results from student AR tests
to target reading
