Accelerated Reader
The Accelerated Reader program (AR) at Owensboro Catholic Elementary is a program in which students read a book and take a computer-based test. Accelerated Reader is fun for all kids. Each book is worth a given number of points. If they make a 100% they will earn all the possible points, otherwise the points are pro-rated based on the number of test questions answered correctly. Accelerated Reader helps students with reading comprehension.
