Accelerated Reader

Members often contact the NCTE headquarters for information on particular topics or programs. While NCTE does not endorse or recommend specific programs, the membership has passed resolutions related to many current issues. This resource site is a compilation of NCTE resources, support materials, and excerpts from teacher commentary on frequently requested topics.


Accelerated Reader presents itself as "a computerized reading management program designed to inspire students to read more and better books. This computer-based program combines a wide selection of children’s fiction and nonfiction with software that tests comprehension, manages records, and tracks reading performance of individual students."  Read more HERE
