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

The Grand Canyon Reader Award - Over 50,000 students across the state of Arizona nominate their favorite books for this award each year.
