Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Most of our school uses Accelerated Reader. It is also used throughout our school district. My students enjoy using Accelerated Reader, and I believe it definitely helps with their reading progress and comprehension. It also provides good data for students who are having reading difficulties as well. You can look for patterns in their data.

Pros and Cons

Focus on comprehension.
It has a good variety of books available for testing.

Maybe more kid friendly motivators toward meeting goals.

Return on Investment

It has really helped my students over the years, so that is a positive.

Support Rating

I have been very pleased with this product, and I have always had a good experience with it. The website is reliable. There's good customer service if you are in need of it. Also, there is a large help section already done for you, so there's been little need for me to get any support.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very appropriate for the second graders that I teach. I think it might not be as well suited for older students (like middle school, etc). I don't think it would be as well suited for kindergarten students, but I think first grade and up would be a good fit.
