AR helps motivate students via success

motivation

A student experiences success when their reading range is set correctly.   If the reading range is correct for the student and they read a book within the range they will pass the quiz.  The quiz is meant to be motivational not a test, but students need to read the book first as it is unlikely that they will pass the quiz otherwise.

Australian Schools have seen great student outcomes with the support of Accelerated Reader in these areas:

Motivating Reluctant Readers

Motivating Boys to Read

Motivating Aboriginal Students to Read

Using ICT to Drive the Reading Program

Increasing Library Borrowing

Ensuring the Library is the Centre of a School’s Reading Program
