Accelerated Reader 2011-2012


The PTA is excited to begin our 10th year of providing the Accelerated Reader (AR) program.   This year we are on a rock star search for some Deer Creek Idols and students climbing the Billboard Chart of Deer Creek’s Top Readers.  AR is an enrichment reading program for all Deer Creek students in grades 1-4. The AR program is completely optional.  AR will start on Tuesday, September 13.   Students can pick any book from the school library that has a blue sticker on the spine that indicates it is an AR book.  The book will also have a white label showing the reading level for the book and the number of points it is worth.  For example, a book level of 1.4 indicates it is a 1st grade reading level.  Students can also choose books from the teacher’s classroom or from home as long as the book is on the Deer Creek AR list.  There are over 4000 books currently on the list ranging from reading levels of 0.3 to 11.8 and point levels of 0.5 to 44.  The hyperlinks below provide a list of some of the quizzes available. The current list of quizzes will be updated on this website as soon as possible.  Also, the Crowley Public Library has the Deer Creek AR list so parents and kids can check to see if a book in the library is on our AR list.   A list of the incentives for this year is included at the bottom of this page.
