cheryl h Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I don't know if any of you are familiar with the reading comprehension testing program called Accelerated Readers or AR...used by both private and public schools. I am looking for something similar online, preferably at very low cost or free. Does anyone know if any such thing exists? My kids read well above grade level and the Abeka readers we got for their grade are far too boring for them so we are switching to some of SWB recommendations for literature/history reading as well as selections from the 1000 best books list. Progeny Press is too expensive to do as many as we'd like....any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Here's a list of free online literature guides I put together a few years ago (hopefully all the links still work.) :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atozmom Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Here are a few others that I had bookmarked that have not been listed yet. I have not fully explored all of them yet. Hope some can be helpful. http://litplans.com/ http://www.mce.k12tn.net/units/units_with_books.htm http://www.novelguide.com/ http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literature/litlibrary/ http://files.harpercollins.com/OMM/Teaching_Guide_Landing_Page.html http://www.shmoop.com/literature/study-guides/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
