Accelerated Reader is a great motivator to push students to READ!
Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Accelerated Reader
All elementary schools in my district use AR. It addresses the issue of motivating students to read.
Pros
- Motivates students to read and meet their term goal.
- Promotes enthusiasm in young readers to watch their flower grow as they take tests.
- It provides a wide variety of books and levels to help differentiate and help readers on all levels.
Cons
- When students finish a test, the "flower page" could show how many books they need to make their term goal.
- I'd like to be able to turn off the Spanish quiz option when students log in to take a test. Many young kids click the Spanish test by mistake and then we're stuck in the test.
- It has shown positive growth with our student's reading levels.
- The program motivates students to read books in all genres.
None, we've always used this program with great results.
