Accelerated Reader for Your Classroom Libraries
If you would like to identify the books in your classroom for AR, you’ll first want to add AR Label information on the inside of the book and then possibly add a color dot on the spine to identify the level of the book.
For AR quiz information, you can either just write the information down OR generate your own pre-printed labels.
-To hand-write AR information: Visit http://www.arbookfind.com/. Look up your book (watch out for multiple versions/abridged classics, etc.). Write down the Quiz Number, Book Level, and Points.
-To generate AR printed labels: Login to Renaissance Place and go to Accelerated Reader -> Reports -> School Management -> Labels-Book. Click on Select Quizzes and add the quizzes you want to print labels for. When done click Save. You can customize your labels if you want, but if you’re not sure, just leave the preset selections as is. Click View Report. Print your label report onto Avery 5160 labels as mentioned above.
If you want to add color dots to your classroom books to match the color levels we use in the library, I’m attaching a document which includes ordering information for the dots. Keep in mind there are 200 dots in each pack. In some of our libraries, we cut our dots in half, so we can label twice as many books. Only order the colors that you need for your classroom library.
Labeling your Treasures Leveled Readers for AR
Teachers are encouraged to label their leveled readers with AR information. This information can be hand-written inside the cover of the reader or you can use the labels we have prepared. I have organized the quiz information labels for the Treasures leveled readers onto ready-to-print pdfs. See the AR Labels for Treasures document.
To print your labels, you will need Avery 5160 labels with 30 labels per sheet. These are available at Staples, Walmart, Office Depot, etc. Stores like Office Depot offer their own brand-name equivalent, often at a lesser price.
