AR BOOKFIND
This database, created by the company that facilitates Accelerated Reader, allows a search of the entire database of AR Quizzes. If they make a test for the book, you'll find it here! If you want to see and search a list of the 7,100 AR books the library owns, type in the keycode AD650752 in the white Keycode box. If the library doesn't have the book, you may still take the quiz here, you just have to get the book from the public library or a bookstore. |
