Everyone:

​

I recently did some digging and found Accelerated Reader 6.1 (and a 6.2 update) over on archive.org

About AR:

​

Accelerated Reader (AR) was a program commonly used in schools to test a student's comprehension of a book. The objective is that a student picks a book on the AR list that is at their reading level and then they read it and take a short test at the computer. A student's reading level is determined by taking a STAR test and unfortunately, I've not been able to track down a working copy of STAR.

To get books into the system, you would either need a disk supplied by AR or by taking the time to read the book and come up with good questions and manually entering them.

1) It's best run in Windows XP in VMWare will not work in anything Windows 10 or newer.

2) The above link is for Windows only, if you want a Mac version for OS 7, 8, and 9 check out: The Macintosh Garden Page I put together.
