Renaissance Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader is a digital reading-management program developed by Renaissance that helps schools, teachers, and librarians manage, monitor, and motivate independent reading practice among students. Students choose books at their reading level and read them at their own pace. After finishing a book, they take a computerized comprehension quiz via AR to assess their understanding. Each book in the AR catalog is assigned a readability level (via the ATOS readability formula) and a point value based on length and complexity; when students successfully pass the quiz, they earn points. These points contribute toward personalized reading goals set by teachers. Teachers (and in some cases parents) receive detailed feedback and reporting on each student’s reading behavior, including books read, comprehension, progress toward goals, and reading volume.
