Unfortunate Events. In addition, we need classics such as Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland and The Three Musketeers. For

Accelerated Reader Program
You can
get our latest
list of Accelerated Reader Program quiz titles from the table below. Quizzes for all these
books are available on the MHR library computer system.
|
How,
when, and where can I take an AR quiz? |
|
The
list of Accelerated Reader quizzes is provided as a convenience to
parents and students. The Media Center does NOT maintain a copy of every
book for which a quiz is listed. In addition, quiz reading levels are
NOT necessarily indicative of a book’s content or age appropriateness.
Parents must use discretion and assist their child(ren) in making book
selections.
The list is available in three versions—sorted alphabetically by author
or title, or in ascending
order by reading level. Each may be viewed,
downloaded, or printed in Internet (.htm), or Microsoft Word (.doc) format. Simply
click on the link in the table below for your preferred sort
and format.
And
please be aware . . . with almost 7,000 titles, the lists—especially
those in Document format—are
large (up to 1 MB or so) and could take up to fifteen minutes to
download depending on your Internet connection speed. (Tip: Unless you
specifically need .doc format, try Internet format for a faster
download.)
The
lists were last updated March 4, 2008.
Happy reading!

Math Programs
Accelerated
Math is a computerized information system that helps teachers manage
student mathematics learning. It individualizes mathematics
practice and testing, scores work and keeps records (which, in turn,
reduces teacher paperwork). Accelerated
Math libraries continue to expand as
funds become available. For more information on
Accelerated Math from
Renaissance Learning, click on the icon at left.
||||||||||||||||
STAR Math®
complements Accelerated Math. A program of computer-adaptive
questions that adjust to the student’s level, it helps place students
in the appropriate Accelerated Math (see above) libraries. STAR Math®
also measures progress and predicts high-stakes test results.
