Renaissance Accelerated Reader helps me by providing a way to assess comprehension and encourage independent reading among my students. There are so many titles included that virtually every book a child might have at home is included in the database! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some parents think that Renaissance Accelerated Reader limits what their children can read. While I do expect my students to stay within their suggested ZPD reading ranges, I do allow students to read above their ranges when they demonstrate an 85% or higher comprehension on tests or when their parents are reading along with them.

The thing I like best about Renaissance Accelerated Reader is that my students can take a beginning of the year test to get their reading level, and then they can choose books that interest them on their level. They can then test on these books and earn rewards from me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about Renaissance Accelerated Reader. We have been using it at my school for years, and the students get excited to compete against their classmates and get the most points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
