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 avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
