Accelerated Reader Program

Connecting Waters is proud to offer our students the Accelerated Reader Program. Accelerated Reader is the world’s most popular reading management software. Used in nearly 60,000 schools, Accelerated Reader provides teachers and parents with an easy and effective way to monitor all forms of guided reading practice.

The Accelerated Reader program was designed to:

v Get students excited about books. Accelerated Reader helps you focus attention on careful reading of books, which improves students’ critical-thinking skills and builds an intrinsic love of reading.

v Obtain reliable, objective information. Six different types of quizzes give you valuable data on students’ textbook reading, library book reading, literacy skills development, and more.

v Help every student master standards. Accelerated Reader helps
raise scores on state tests and ensure mastery of standards
—research proves it!

v Keep each student challenged. Using Accelerated Reader, you can continuously guide students to appropriate books and curriculum. This means you can ensure that every student is challenged without being frustrated.

The Accelerated Reader program is now available at the Ceres/Modesto Learning Center and the Manteca Learning Center for CWCS students who have registered for the program. There will be no cost deducted from the students educational funding for the first 200 students who register for this program. So if you are interested please call the CWCS Waterford office (209-874-9463) or email mvinnedge@connectingwaters.org to register for this great program.
