The book banding allows children to select real and scheme books organised into colours. Students love to take the STAR reading assessments and enjoy finding out their scores and whether their book band has improved!

Rachel Phillips found Renaissance Accelerated Reader™️:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    The children are able to read and take quizzes independently during quiet reading sessions. They record their scores and keep a record which I can check and then encourage children who haven't taken a quiz to take one. The quizzes assess their comprehension and enable them to select the correct level of book to choose next.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    It allows the teacher to manage the correct level of books for the children, but isn't like using a scheme which can impact on pupils' confidence.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    The wide range of texts available, including non-fiction texts. it also introduces them to Latin terms which makes them feel very grown up!
