I love Accelerated Reader because it gives my students the practice reading that they desperately need. They love seeing the flower fill up as they approach their goal and are excited about reading. I love that students aren't competing against each other, but are competing with themselves to show growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really aren't any downsides that I have found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Students can select books based on their interests and their reading level. Students can also challenge themselves by reading above their levels and setting goals for themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AR allows me to track my students' reading and provides opportunities for parents to do the same. Goals are easy to set and easy to attain for students of all reading levels. Most any book has a test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accelerated reader or AR is an awesome reading incentive program. I love all aspects of the program. I love that it increases fluency. Comprehension. I love that there are quizzes for all levels. All genres. Both fiction and non fiction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that my current school system will not purchase it for my young students. I currently teach at a PreK and kindergarten school. I believe it’s the perfect time to introduce the program. The district evidently disagrees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
