If you are a parent of an elementary age kid, you are probably familiar with Accelerated Reader. Although AR is a great tool for encouraging kids to read at or above their reading level, it can be a pain for parents to find books that not only meet the right book level, but are also worth the right points. Many apps and web sites will give you one, but not the other. With Points Scan, all the information including the quiz number is available in one location. All you have to do is scan the books bar code (or type in the title or author) and the book level, number of points and quiz number is at your hands. Points Scan is the easiest, most convenient app focusing on AR that is around. With one click of your phone, all the information you need to help your child have a successful school year is available. 

Points Scan Free receives updated AR information every 2-3 weeks so you will always have the latest information at your finger tips.
