Accelerated Reader 360
Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Accelerated Reader
Our whole school, though small, uses Accelerated Reader 360. We love the program and being able to see how well our students are paying attention to the books and stories being read. It is also a user-friendly service that helps teachers and parents watch the progress of their child/student. Our students are on the program every day and it is very user-friendly for them as well.
Pros
- It tests students knowledge of books and how close they paid attention to the story.
- It provides good data for how well a student is growing in their reading abilities.
- It gives a good level of reading for our students and allows teachers to see what grade level they are close to.
- I also love the recommendations of other books students could or should read next.
Cons
- The quizzes test more details from a story versus the comprehension of the story.
- The program is expensive for a small school but the service is well worth it.
I have not personally evaluated any other programs similar to Accelerated Reader. AR was the program introduced to me when I started teaching and since I have never had any issues with it, I have never been driven to find another program with similar offerings.
