"Thank you for making your classroom a place where my child enjoys learning. She comes home every day telling me what she learned in class with such excitement in her voice. She spends at least one to two hours per day reading a variety of books, even the dictionary. WOW! Both my husband and I are pleased with the strong biblical teaching our children are receiving at Cumberland Christian."—K5 Parent

Accelerated Reading Program

Student log in

Your child will be participating in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program. This program is designed to help your child gain a better understanding of written language through reading practice. AR is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children's independent readng practice. Your child takes a short quiz on the computer. AR gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.

We have books in our media center, but you may certainly use the public library. To find out if a book is an AR book, go to AR bookfinder and type in the name of the author or the book title. Please write down the quiz number, point value, and reading level, and have your child bring this to school to enter on their reading log.
