- 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 will 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.
- Many of the reports let you choose the type of assignment that you want to see information for. If the report has a drop-down list, use it to choose the type of quizzes to include. You may be able to choose a single quiz type or multiple quiz types.
For other reports, select Choose Assignment Type.
Then, in the window that opens, select Accelerated Reader in the first column and one of the quiz types in the second column. (Some reports allow you to select multiple quiz types.) Then, select Apply.
- For most reports, you must also choose the students to include. Select Choose Students.
- Choose the students to include in the report. Teachers can only choose students in their own classes and groups.
- In the popup window, if there is a Schools column, select a school. (This column is not available if you only have access to one school.)
- 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; tick the ones you want in the list). This column is not available to teachers unless they are assigned to more than one school.
- 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; tick the ones you want in the list).
- 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.

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 finish making your choices, select Apply (or Cancel to close this the pop-up without saving your choices).
- If you want to use demographic data to focus the report on specific students, select Choose Demographics (if the option is available).
By default, the "All" option is chosen for Ethnicity, Gender, Language (the students' primary language, if specified), and Year Level. 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 level 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 year levels, while leaving Ethnicity, Gender, and Language 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 with both 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). - If the report requires you to choose the date range, select the date field.

- Select Update Report under the options.
- The report will open under the button with the class or group name and the teachers shown above the table(s) of information. If you want to print the report, select the PDF icon in the top right corner of the page. A PDF of the report will open in a new tab, where you can print and save the report.
