Reading Practice with Accelerated Reader Improves Reading Achievement:
Numerous independent studies have been documented. In the one detailed here, data for students who read and took Accelerated Reader quizzes for more than 3 million books were analyzed. Measures largely of quantity (engaged reading volume) and purely of quality (success in reading comprehension) showed the more time students spent engaged in independent reading practice facilitated by AR, the greater their gains in reading achievement.
Topping, K. J., Samuels, S. J., & Paul, T. (2007). Does practice make perfect? Independent reading quantity, quality and student achievement. Learning and Instruction, 17, 253-264
What Parents Can Do:
- Encourage reading at home
- Discuss what your child is reading every day
- Occasionally, read the same book as your child
- Read aloud to your child
- Provide a quiet, device free reading time for the family
- Monitor your child's reading practice by regularly checking his or her reading record on Renaissance Home Connect (https://hosted6.renlearn.com/737605/HomeConnect/Login.aspx) which is linked on the left side of this page. All you need is your student's user name and password.
- Provide your own rewards and recognition for your child's reading practice
- Ensure your child earns his or her AR points honestly
