The study found students using Accelerated Reader who:
-
Scored over 85% in their quizzes on average
-
Had over 30 minutes of engaged reading time every day
Showed 'higher gain' in their Star Reading results than students who did not meet these criteria. The study found a 'clear positive relationship' between Best Practice use of Accelerated Reader and Student Growth Percentile (SGP).
