Accelerated Reading

Accelerated Reading Program (A/R)

Acquinton Elementary School participates in a program called Accelerated Reader. Students select books on their reading level and take a test on the computer to check their comprehension. All these tests must be taken on the AES campus. Students are awarded prizes and are given incentives based on their participation.
