Accelerated Reader (AR) is a nationally recognized reading practice program used at Laguna Elementary School. Books that match these titles are books that may be found in public libraries, classroom libraries, home libraries, book stores, or Laguna school library. Most Laguna classroom libraries and the school library have AR books leveled for students.

AR is not a complete reading program nor is it proven that reading for a reward makes a life long reader. (McCarthy, Cheryl. "Is the Tail Wagging the Dog?" School Library Media Activities Monthly Nov. 2003: 23-26.)

AR is now web based and students now have access to all AR Quizes!
