What is Renaissance Accelerated Reader™️?
Renaissance Accelerated Reader gives teachers the information needed to monitor students’ reading practice and make informed decisions to guide their future learning.
A student reads a book, takes an online quiz, and gets immediate feedback.
A comprehensive set of reports reveals how much a student has been reading, at what level of complexity, and how well they have understood what they have read. Vocabulary growth and literacy skills are also measured, giving teachers insight into how well students have responded to reading schemes and class instruction.
Suitable for all ages and abilities, Accelerated Reader has been shown to produce significantly higher annual improvement for students using the programme than those who did not. Schools following the best practices for implementation also substantially improved students' reading abilities and academic performance.
Recommended Usage
Pupils should set aside 30-minutes a day for reading and teachers, 30-minutes a week for data analysis
