Accelerated Reader

St. Bonaventure School uses Renaissance Learning software applications for Accelerated Reader. Your child is tested three times a year for their ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) using STAR Reader Diagnostic software. This ZPD is used to help them select books at a successful reading level. The ZPD s are held on file in the library; you may check on your student s ZPD at any time. This computerized reading enrichment program is individualized, allowing each student to move at his or her own pace and level of ability.

Book Search

To find out if the book you have read has a quiz you can take go directly to the http://www.arbookfind.com/UserType.aspx and search by Author or Title for your book.
 
Our Library Catalog, available on the Library tab, of the menu to the right, shows the AR levels and points on any book in our school library.

  Reading goals are individualized for each student participating in the Accelerated Reader program. Please select the file below to view the Accelerated Reader goal incentives.
