Accelerated Reader

Accelerated Reader Searchable Database!

Accelerated Reader is computer software program that is used school-wide, 1st through 8th grade. Students read books from the Accelerated Reader Lists (see links below) and then take a computerized comprehension test on the book. Students earn points based on the difficulty level of the book and the percentage of questions they answer correctly about the book. Based on the accumulation of these points throughout their St. Thomas More career, students receive awards during Award Assemblies after the 2nd and 4th quarters. Comprehension tests can be taken in the student's homeroom or the library during the school year and in the library during the summer.
