Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Accelerated Reader
AR is used daily in our school. Students are tested to determine their reading level. Students goals are set and students find books on their level to read and test on. Students must maintain at least 85% accuracy and reach their goal in order to earn daily, weekly, or monthly goals. Our school's AR team plans the awards for each month. The awards are planned with a theme that matches any activity for each month. For example, for December, any child reaching their AR goal is invited to a movie with popcorn - dressed in their Christmas pajamas of course! Parents are able to keep track of their child's progress at home. Students are also able to keep track of their progress and document it in their Leader In ME AR folder. Finally, we gather during a Senergy Assembly and recognize those who reached their goals, exceeded their goals, the top AR points achieved, and million word readers are also recognized.
Pros
- AR promotes the love of reading.
- AR promotes teacher/child/parent communication.
- AR strengthens comprehension in our students.
Cons
- Easy access for parents to print a list of the books their child has read and tested on.
- Each nine weeks, the percentage of students reaching their goals increases by 15%.
- Students and teachers becoming million word readers also increases each year.
I have only used AR in my classroom during the years.
