Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Accelerated Reader

I have been using Accelerated Reader for many years. I have been there to watch/participate as the platform has changed over the year. It just keeps getting better and better. I teacher kindergarten and I love how this program encourages daily reading. My young students love to read and go to the library "by themselves" to get new books. We cheer for each child as they meet goals, may 100's on quizzes and earn new badges on the platform. I love the reports that are available to look at student data and growth. Very user friendly. I love this product.

I have not used any other products like this. I have used Accelerated Reader for about 20 years, and I have nothing else to compare it to. I have NOT used A/B Smartly, but I could not skip this question so I had to randomly select something. AR is a good product. If it "ain't broke" then why change it.

My students work towards point goals so they can earn prizes. This works will with my young students and helps encourage daily reading/test taking in my class. I do wish that there were more predictable texts readily available for my kindergarten students. Overall, I am happy with this product.
