Accelerated Reader Program
The Okaloosa County School District has purchased all Renaissance Learning Accelerated Reader book tests for all elementary schools. No more searching your individual elementary school’s list! Now anyone can search for AR books online for free! That means parents, guardians, and students can conduct book searches by author, readability level, point value, and topic. Go to
www.arbookfind.com or click on the AR icon above.
