Click here to access The Emerson
Library Catalog.
Here you can look up materials in Emerson's library by title,
author, keyword, and series. You can also look up AR books by
getting into the Emerson
Elementary Library, click on the, Search Reading
Programs arrow and choose, Accelerated Reader then
click in the "from" Reading Level box
and type in a reading level (your child should know what reading
levels they can choose from, if not, have them, or their teacher,
write their reading level range in their planner for you) Then
click in the "to" box to the right and type in that
same reading level number (eg. Reading Level from 2.3 to 2.3)
hit the return/enter key on your keyboard and you will get a
list of AR books at that level. Leave the numbers in the
point value boxes the way they are. We want students to get books
at their reading level, not books with a certain point value.
