Boost Reading with Find-a-Book!
For Accelerated Reader®, Reading Counts!® & Lexile® Measure Titles

Reading development programs play a significant role in encouraging students to read, improving comprehension, enhancing the curriculum, and ultimately, improving test scores. So we've partnered with K-12 education experts to make it easy for your students to find titles associated with Accelerated Reader (AR), Reading Counts!(RC), and Lexile Measure reading programs. As a result, we’ve created our Find-a-Book service to help you get more out of your reading program investment.

Find-a-Book:

  • Helps your students quickly identify books by program name, reading level, point value and more
  • Searches your OPAC for titles that match reading abilities—no matter which automation vendor you use
  • Adds the appropriate MARC record tags to your bibliographic data based on the AR, RC and Lexile Measure titles and quizzes in your collection
  • Helps you enhance your collection using reports that identify books with no quizzes and quizzes with no matching books

Easy Searching from Your OPAC
Students can easily find AR or RC books, or books with Lexile Measures using our Catalog Plus and WebCollection Plus OPACs. They simply click on the AR, RC or Lexile icon on the main search screen and enter search criteria such as reading level and subject. The program quickly returns a list of titles that match the students’ reading abilities.

Find-a-Book Service Updates Your MARC Records
To take advantage of this searching, your MARC records must contain information about the reading program titles and quizzes you own or your titles with Lexile Measures. Find-a-Book adds the information to your records for you.
