  • Updated

The steps below apply to most reading reports, but some reports have unique options (such as the Book Labels Report or Certificates).

Who can do this with default user permissions?

District Level Administrators, District Dashboard Owners, District Staff, School Level Administrators, School Staff, Teachers

  1. If you have a Home page tile like the first example below, to open the Accelerated Reader Record Book, select Accelerated Reader Independent Reading; then, select Reports in the menu. If your home page is Renaissance Next, select Reports under My Data on the left side of the page; then, select Accelerated Reader Reports.
    select Accelerated Reader, then Reports     in Renaissance Next, select Reports under My Data
  2. On the Reports page, the Accelerated Reader/Reading Practice tab is selected. Find the report and select it. (If you have added the report to the Pinned Reports, you'll also find it under that section at the top of the page.) Note: Some tiles are dashboards; these steps only describe how to generate the reports.

    2. If the Teachers column is available, At the top of the column, choose either All Teachers (to choose all the teachers in the school) or Select Teachers (to choose specific teachers; check the ones you want in the list). This column is not available to teachers unless they are assigned to more than one school.
    3. At the top of the Classes column, choose either All Classes (to choose all the classes for the teachers) or Select Classes (to choose specific classes; check the ones you want in the list).
    4. Teachers, school administrators, and school staff will also see a Groups column. At the top of the Groups column, choose either All Groups or Select Groups; if you choose Select Groups, check the groups that you want to include. The first choice in the column is "Whole Class" or "Whole Classes"; choose this to report on the class(es) as a whole. Below that, you will see groups you created.
    5. You may need to scroll to the right to see the Students column. At the top of the Students column, choose either All Students (to choose all the students) or Select Students (to choose specific students; check the ones you want in the list).

You can search the items in a column by clicking within that column and then typing Ctrl+F or control-F on the keyboard.

When you are done making your choices, select Apply (or Cancel to close this the pop-up without saving your choices).

  1. If you want to use demographic data to focus the report on specific students, select Choose Demographics (if the option is available).
    the Choose Demographics button
    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Ethnicity, Gender, Language (the students' primary language, if specified), and Grade Level. To focus the report on specific groups, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then check your selections in that column. Note that ethnicity, gender, primary language, and grade level may be specified for students when you add them to the software, but only grades are required; other information may not be available for your students.
    the demographics selection window - the Ethnicity, Gender, Language, and Grade Level columns
    In the example above, the user has selected one Language and three Grade Levels, while leaving Ethnicity and Gender at the default "All" options. Note: The Filter Reports by Ethnicity user permission may be set to prevent the use of ethnicities as a filter.

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Characteristics. To focus the report on students with specific characteristics, choose Select Characteristics; then, check the characteristics that you are interested in. You must also choose any or all above the check boxes to specify whether students with any of the selected characteristics will be included in the report or only those with all of the selected characteristics.
    the demographics selection window's Characteristics options
    In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (ADA AND ESL). Because any is selected, the report will include students who are ADA, ESL, or both. If all had been selected, only students who are both ADA and ESL would be included. Note: The Filter Reports by Characteristics user permission may be set to prevent the use of characteristics as a filter.

    Once you have finished choosing demographic options, select Apply at the bottom of the window to save your choices (or Cancel to close the window without saving your choices).
  2. If the report requires you to choose the date range, select the date field.
    select the Date Range field
