Who Uses AR Overview
Here are a sample of the things that Teachers have said about Accelerated Reader...

"AR has completely revitalised the school's reading program, becoming a priority in the school budget and gaining a great amount of support from parents. Parents are thrilled, particularly those with children who never wanted to read!"

Merrie Wilson
Hilliard Christian School

"In 2003, 13 children read 800 novels, which was amazing. Even those less inclined to read have enjoyed this program."

Pam Cregan
Terowrie Rural School

"Parents report amazing attitude changes. Students read more and discuss books with their peers."

Greg Farlow
Nundah State School

"AR has ensured that children read more regularly and with more understanding. As a teacher, I have never had a more structured reading program".

Terry Breen
Sunnybank Hills State School

"Students are excited about reading and want to talk about it. It has grown beyond my wildest expectations. Overall classroom behaviour has improved dramatically because students never have 'nothing to do'. It really is taking on a life of its own with the whole community giving support."

June Evans
Nanango State Primary

" A disinterested Year 5 boy was reading The Power of One by Year 7."

Lorraine See
Greenbank State School

"I have to stop children reading in other classes because they want to finish their books."

Ann Friedlieb
St Patrick's Primary

"I love it! It's the most impressive, effective program I've used in 23 years of teaching."

Graham Cooney
Rouse Hill Public School

“Students enjoy doing the quizzes. The children who weren’t borrowing from the library are now doing so because they want to, not just because we tell them to. AR also encourages the children to borrow books they normally wouldn’t choose.”

Jenny Kilby
St. Joseph's School

"AR has increased vocabulary and comprehension. Students are much more inclined to read independently. More students are regularly borrowing from the library and reading more than just their English novels!”
