Accelerated Reader Resources

Several of Lancaster County's school districts utilize the Accelerated Reader program as a method of testing reading ability and comprehension. At LPL, we sometimes get requests for information to find out whether a particular title is on an AR list.

Each school tends to have an independent AR list (meaning there is no real "master list.") because their list is built around what is available in that school's library, or perhaps in the other libraries in the school district. These lists from your child's school can sometimes run to nearly 200 pages. A great option is to check with your school librarian or classroom teacher.

In research today, we found an online version of an AR Quiz List from Quarryville Elementary in the Solanco School District. We're posting the link to the website as a source of a base list that you can use to find some possible titles to help in your AR searches.
