Accelerated Reader
Mililani Middle uses the Accelerated Reader program. AR determines about 10-20% of a student's Language Arts grade. If a student borrows an "AR Book" from the library, then reads it, he/she can take an "AR Test", which asks questions about events and characters in the book (Students may also read an AR book if they already own one). Depending on how well they score on a test, a student receives "AR Points", and students can receive prizes if he/she has a certain amount of AR points, such as a goodie bag or free ice cream. If a student, however, reaches over 100 AR points, maximizing the other kids in their grade level they will have their picture taken with the other winners of the contest. This picture will be posted in the yearbook.

Famous quotes containing the word reader:
“What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
