The Reading Implementation Status Report provides the results of students' Accelerated Reader reading practice. The report includes the average Star Reading Reading Age score (or actual scores if you are listing students), average percentage correct on all reading quizzes, the percentage of students at/above and below 85% average percentage correct, the median points earned, the Engaged Time per day, the average difficulty level (book level) for quizzes taken, the percentage of independent reading based on TWI monitoring, and the percentage of fiction reading.
Follow these steps to see the report:
- If you are not already on the Reports page, select Reports on the Home page; then, select Administrator in the menu that opens.
- On the Reports page, the Administrator tab will be selected. Select Consolidated Implementation Status Report in the Customizable Reports section of the page. (If you have added the report to the Pinned Reports, you will find it under that section at the top of the page.)
- In the Students drop-down list you can choose all schools or a single school.
If you want to choose multiple schools, but not all, select the Schools link under the drop-down list. In the window that opens, tick the schools that you want to include in the report. To remove all ticks, select Clear All under the list; to tick all schools, tick the box next to "Schools" above the list. When you have finished selecting the schools, select Save Selection. The Students drop-down list will show how many schools you selected. - By default, all classes from the selected school(s) are included. If you want to select specific classes from one school only, select the Classes link.
In the window that opens, select a school from the drop-down list. You can only select classes from one school.
The classes in that school will be listed in the window. Tick the classes that you want to include in the report. If the list is long, and you want to find classes more quickly, you can use the "Find Class by Name" field to narrow the list to classes whose names include specific text. To remove all ticks, select Clear All under the list; to tick all classes, tick the box next to "Classes" above the list. When you have finished selecting the classes, select Save Selection. - If you want to use demographic data to focus the report on specific students, select Choose Demographics.
How to choose demographics
By default, the "All" option is chosen for ethnicity, gender, language (the students' primary language, if specified), and year. To focus the report on specific groups, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then tick your selections in that column. Note that ethnicity, gender, primary language, and year may be specified for students when you add them to the software, but only years are required; other information may not be available for your students.
In the example above, the user has selected two Years, while leaving Language, 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, tick the characteristics that you are interested in. You must also choose any or all above the tick 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.
In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (Low Prior Attainment and Middle Prior Attainment). Because any is selected, the report will include students who have either or both characteristics assigned. If all had been selected, only students who have both characteristics assigned 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).
- Select the Group By drop-down list and choose whether to group the report by school network, schools, years, teachers, or classes/groups. The options that are available to you depend on your role. "School Network" means the report will not be grouped since there is only one school network; if you chose to include just one school, or if your site only has one school, "School" may also mean the report items are not grouped.
For some customers in larger school districts, the options in the Group By and Then list drop-down lists are limited to the following:
Group By Then list School Network Schools School Network Years Schools Years - Next, use the Then List drop-down to choose which items you want to list within each group: schools, years, teachers, classes and groups, or students. This determines what you will see report data for. (The options that are available depend on what you chose in the Group By drop-down list; for example, if you chose to group by Schools, your Then List options would include Years, Teachers, Classes/Groups, and Students.)
- By default, the report will include the current school year. If you want to choose a marking period, screening window, or custom dates instead, select the date field.
You can select marking period or screening window from the drop-down list. You can also select "All Time".
If schools use their own unique date ranges within a school network screening window, those ranges will all have the same name. To help you tell them apart, the dates they cover will be added to the end of the name.
If you want to use custom dates, select Custom. Then, type the start and end dates in the fields (using four digits for the year), or select the start date and then the end date in the calendar (use the arrows to the left and right of the months to go back or forward). When you have finished, select Apply.
- The subject for the report is Reading.
- The Hide Sections Without Data option hides schools, teachers, or classes/groups (depending on what you grouped by) that have no data. For example, in the example below, any schools that have no data would not be included in the report (since "Schools" is selected in the Group By drop-down list).
- Select Update Report under the report options.
- For each of the schools, teachers, classes and groups, or students (depending on what you chose to list), you will see the information described at the beginning of this topic. To see some columns in the report, you may need to use the scroll bar to scroll to the right.
