Other Reading Series must first be assigned to a class in order for the students to take the Other Reading Quizzes in
them. To assign Other Reading Series to your class, follow the instructions below and on the next page for your
version of Accelerated Reader.
For Accelerated Reader 7.x RP
The Other Reading Series preference allows you to assign Other Reading Series to your class and remove
series from your class. The choices you make affect only the class you have chosen to work with. If you want to
change the passing percentage for Other Reading Quizzes, you must use the Other Reading Quizzes Passing
Percent preference, which is one of the Classroom Student Quizzing preferences.
Follow these steps:
1. Click Preferences in the list of Accelerated Reader tasks on the Home page.
2. Click Other Reading Series under the Classroom Preferences.
3. If necessary, choose the school and class you want to work with from the drop-down lists. Then, click Set
after each selection. Note: If you want only the Accelerated Reader RP classes you are assigned to as a
