Quiz types: Reading Practice Quizzes, Literacy Skills Quizzes, Vocabulary Practice Quizzes, and Recorded Voice Quizzes

Match

Allows you to match the books you have with your quizzes and search for the quizzes you may still need.

AR BookGuide can make it easier for you to make sure that you have quizzes for the books in your library collection.

You can either mark your quizzes and books manually or import information from Accelerated Reader and your library circulation system (MARC records). See Importing.
