Book and Quiz Lists

To see all available lists, on the Home page under Title & List Management, click List Management.

A List is made up of items you have added from the Search Results. See Searching for Books and Quizzes for information on searching. You can use Lists to create orders, to list the books or quizzes you have, or to create reading lists for students. You can also choose to make your lists (Teacher Lists) available in AR BookFinder—the Web-based search tool parents can use to search for Accelerated Reader book titles that are appropriate for their children.

Changing the Order of a List

When you click on the column headings in your list, you can re-order the list by what is shown in the column title. For example, the lists are normally alphabetized by List Name; clicking List Name reverses alphabetical order. If you click on Title Count, the list will be ordered by Title Count in ascending order. Clicking again will change it to descending order. Clicking Last Edited, orders the list starting with the earliest and ending with the latest date; click again to reverse the order. Click Creator (or Comment) to arrange Quizzes alphabetically by Creator's last name (or Comment); click again to reverse the order.
