Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Accelerated Reader
We use the Renaissance Accelerated Reader program for our English regular and English Honors courses at High School level. Teacher's get very detailed information as to how are students are doing in terms of reading and improving on fluency and accuracy in learning to understand and interpret books. There is grade levels in place for the books and by testing at certain grade levels we can fully see where the students need the most help and where improvements can be made. The Renaissance Accelerated Reader program has helped a lot in the past few years by giving us more insight as to where students need to be in terms of reading fluency and basic reading knowledge.
Pros
- Gives details on the fluctuation throughout the years since starting the program
- Let's teachers use the program as a guide so they can adjust to the students reading needs better
- Improves the student's learning skills in the classroom with better reading fluency and accuracy
Cons
- Understanding the graphs for first time users
- Separating the children based on reading level
- Giving details on how and where specifically students would need to improve to bring up scores
- Positively increased the reading level of students
- Given students the opportunity to increase reading fluency
- Negatively affected kids who were already struggling to read by making them see the bad test scores with little to no improvement
Renaissance Accelerated Reader for me is better than other programs. I haven't had much experience with the other programs but for me this was the easiest to understand and to develop. I have been looking into learning more about the Renaissance Accelerated Reader program in the upcoming years. All the great things I have heard about the Renaissance Accelerated Reader program and how it improves the students reading readiness is the biggest reason for me to pick Renaissance Accelerated Reader.

Evaluating Renaissance Accelerated Reader and Competitors
- Ease of Use
We started using Renaissance Accelerated Reader because it was used throughout the district and was the most insightful of all the programs we had used before. We have been with this program the longest and we will continue to use it as it's the most beneficial to us in reading students data when it comes to helping our students engage with reading and comprehension when testing time comes.
I would not change my selection and evaluation process at this time. If I had to, I would like to have more knowledge in the program sense. Since it is my first year as a library/media specialist, I am still learning more about the program. I have used it before but I am learning how to go more in depth with the skills needed and how to understand the program better.
