Reading is very important for children. It helps them develop a broader vocabulary, reading development skills and an understanding of the English language. Some schools and teachers have taken a step further to help develop children's reading skills. The A.R. Program (Accelerated Reader's Program), helps finds books that increase a child's reading level and learn comprehension. The A.R. Finder (accelerated reader) is a website that assists teachers, parents and librarians.
Parents can use tools found on the A.R. website to help develop a child's love for reading. There are even free bookmarks that they can print out for children to use. The parent's guide to helping their children learn how to enjoy reading include a few tips that can help lead to success. These tips include building a home library, reading with their children and asking their children about the books that they have read. Parents can even search for specific books or subjects and then create a reading list that they can build for their children. It also offers links to Amazon where the books can be purchased.
Teachers can also use the A.R. Website to help benefit the students in their classroom. They can design a reading list for students to choose books from. Books on the A.R. Finder also come equipped with tests that students can take to test their comprehension on the material that they read. Teachers may often use these tests to add additional points to their current reading score/grade. Other teachers may require that a certain number of books must be read from the list before the year is over. Textbook material can also be accessed by teachers on the A.R website too.
The A.R. Finder is also beneficial to librarians. Librarians can find the best books that can benefit their younger customers who come to the library. They can choose books that have been suggested on the state list, awards list or Librarian's picks. Librarians can also use the advanced book finder to search for specific titles, authors or ISBN numbers. They can also search by reading level to find appropriate books for different aged children. Also, if children need to, they can take their A.R. Tests if additional computers are available to do so.
Reading is an important part of children's lives. The A.R. Finder is dedicated to helping parents, students and librarians to use reading as a way to enrich the development of children and their reading skills. It is a simple website that is informative and easy to use. There is no cost to use the website, and it is available on the web for everyone to use. Parents, teachers and librarians can begin using the website and find books to benefit the children in their lives and add them to their “A.R book bag.” With continued use, they can help build a library of books that can help a child learn and explore the world of reading.
