The TWI Report provides a summary of each student's Accelerated Reader Reading Practice Quiz results for books Read To the student, Read With the student, or Read Independently.

For each student on the report, the report shows the following for books Read To, Read With, and Read Independently (for fiction, non-fiction, and overall):

  • the average percentage correct
  • the percentage of the possible points earned
  • the number of points earned
  • the average book level (difficulty level)
  • the number of quizzes passed and taken

For each student, the report also shows the total number of quizzes passed versus the number taken, and the percentage that the student passed. The report ends with a summary of the information for all of the students you included.

    the Choose Demographics button

    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.

    the demographics window with two years ticked
    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.

    the demographics window with two characteristics ticked
    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 of those 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).

  8. By default, the report will include the current school year. If you want to choose all time, a marking period, or custom dates instead, select the date field.
    the date range field
    If you want to use one of the marking periods that have been added for your school, select the marking period in the list. (You can also choose "All Time".)

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.
