The Melinda Heights PTA fully funds Accelerated Reader, commonly referred to as "AR." AR is a software program for K-12 schools to monitor the practice of reading. Reading comprehension is assessed by means of a computer-based quiz that tests general knowledge of a book in a multiple choice format. Students in grades 1-6 earn points by taking quizzes on books they've read and earn rewards and recognition.
We are proud to be able to continue offering the software, thanks to last year's fundraising. AR is something students really enjoy. Our AR testing and million words club members continuously reach new heights!
