Vocabulary Practice Quizzes measure a student's command of vocabulary words encountered while reading. They are designed to reinforce vocabulary acquisition, assist with individualizing vocabulary instruction, and generate student interest in words through authentic, in-context literature experiences.
Vocabulary words are identified by finding words that are at or above the average reading level of the text, appear in the book at least twice, are significant to the book's meaning, and are interesting or useful in everyday conversation.
Quizzes include 5, 10, or 15 words from a particular book as well as review words from previously read books.
Literacy Skills Quizzes help monitor student growth in the comprehension and literacy skills that are most often assessed on high-stake tests.
These quizzes measure specific skills in the context of a whole book.
Literacy Skills Quizzes are supplemental and are to be taken only occasionally and in far fewer numbers than Reading Practice Quizzes. They have no motivational aim.
Students should not take a Literacy Skills Quiz unless they have first passed the Reading Practice Quiz. If the student does not understand a book well enough to pass the Reading Practice Quiz, their score on the Literacy Skills Quiz will not be meaningful.
Recorded Voice Quizzes are Reading Practice Quizzes designed for emergent and beginning readers. When taking Recorded Voice Quizzes, students use the speakers on the computer (or headphones) to listen to a professional recording of each quiz question and the answer choices. Because students hear the words as they appear on the screen, they can take the quizzes independently.
Reading Practice quizzes were designed to indicate whether a student has read and understands a book on a basic level. Reading Practice Quizzes are intended to be motivating and form the foundation of Accelerated Reader.
The books can be Read To or Read With the student or can be Read Independently.
In Kansas Book Connect, article quizzes are identified as Reading Practice.
- When students finish taking an Accelerated Reader Reading Practice Quiz for a book, they may vote to say how they liked the book. The rating is calculated from all student votes (nationwide) for the past twelve months. It is updated weekly.
- Possible star ratings are: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 stars. If the book has not been rated, this field will say "Not yet rated."
- LCCN stands for Library of Congress Card Number. This is assigned by the Library of Congress when the bibliographic record for a book is created.
- ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. It is a distinctive number assigned to a book.
