  15. Literacy Skills Help monitor growth in comprehension and literacy skills. Allow educators to assess how students are progressing in 24 specific skills in four key areas: Initial understanding, Inferential comprehension, Literary analysis, Constructing meaning.

  23. Sample Quiz

  24. ATOS Readability Formula

  25. ATOS Formula A grade-level scale used to establish levels for books. An ATOS level on a book indicates how difficult the text is to read. Thus, it can help match books to a student's reading level. Employs four factors to determine readability of a text: average sentence length, average word length, vocabulary grade level, word count.

  26. ATOS for Text

  27. ATOS for Text A grade-level scale for use with other reading materials such as magazine articles, textbooks, and passages from reading tests. Educators may submit passages of text for free analysis through the RenLearn website: www.renlearn.com/ar/overview/atos/

  28. ATOS 2000

  29. ATOS 2000 Scaled Score converted to a 2000-point scale that is similar, but not identical, to the Lexile scale. The ATOS 2000 score should be useful to anyone who is accustomed to using Lexiles, because its values will be reasonable approximations in most cases.

  30. Implementing Renaissance/ Goal Setting

  31. Implementing Renaissance/Goal Setting If you set Reading Practice certification goals, Accelerated Reader automatically monitors student progress. Teachers match books to students using the Goal Setting Chart. Because the Goal Setting Chart is based on grade-equivalent score, any norm-referenced standardized test can be used.

  32. Implementing Renaissance/Goal Setting The reading ranges on the chart are based on the theoreticalzoneofproximaldevelopment. A range of books that will challenge without causing frustration or loss of motivation. The minimum average percent correct goal on Reading Practice Quizzes is 85%.

  34. Reading Practice Reports

  35. Diagnostic - Reading Practice The Diagnostic - Reading Practice Report summarizes your students' performance on Reading Practice Quizzes. It uses diagnostic-or "at risk"-codes to identify students who may be struggling.

  36. Diagnostic Report

  37. Student Record Report

  38. Student Record Report The Student Record Report is a useful tool for teachers to find patterns and diagnose problems in a student's reading practice. It shows the date the student took the quiz, title, questions the student answered correctly, total number of questions on the quiz, points the student earned.
