Accelerated Reader is a reading incentive program used in 75,000 schools that provides students with quizzes on books to test their comprehension and monitors their progress. The newer Renaissance Place version provides access to more quizzes and assessments through an online platform, while the older desktop version required purchasing individual quizzes. Research shows Accelerated Reader can be successful when implemented correctly with teacher training, but critics argue the quizzes only test recall and not higher-level reading skills, and goals may be arbitrarily set.
