Accelerated Reader Advantage produces an average of two years' reading age growth in just one academic year whilst promoting reading for pleasure. It is available by subscription and hosted online at Renaissance Place (RP). STAR Reading assessment can be administered at any time, from any school computer, whilst Accelerated Reader quizzes can also be completed using Renaissance Learning's NEO 2 writing tool. For best results, we recommend between 20-30 minutes daily reading practice for every pupil.

The school library plays a key role in the success of ARA, and one of the first tasks is to ‘level’ and label all of the books. AR BookGuide is a specialist website that allows the Librarian to compare and match their existing book stock against the quizzes available.

AR BookFinder is another useful website that allows pupils, parents, teachers and librarians to quickly and easily search for books that have been AR quizzed.

Home Connect is a unique feature of RP that significantly aids home-school communication by allowing parents and guardians to access information about their child’s progress with Accelerated Reader. They can see which, and how many, books have been read and quizzed, and up to six family members can even receive automatic email alerts every time a quiz is completed.
