The Words Learned Report provides a summary of the vocabulary words that a student has learned within the reporting period as shown by Vocabulary Practice Quizzes.

For each student, the report shows the total number of words the student learned, total number of words it was possible for the student to learn, the number of quizzes taken, and the average year level of the words that were learned. For each student, the report also lists the words that the student learned and the year level for each word.

Words may be marked that appeared on more than one quiz and that have multiple definitions.

If you are not already on the Reports page, select Reports on the Home page; then, select Accelerated Reader / Reading Practice in the menu that opens.

The Reports page will open with the Accelerated Reader / Reading Practice tab selected.
Select Words Learned Report in the Mastery Status 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.)
On the Words Learned Report page, select Choose Assignment Type.
In the window that opens, select Accelerated Reader in the first column and Vocabulary Practice Quiz in the second column. Then, select Apply.
Next, select Choose Students or Change Students to choose which students will be in the report.
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 most teachers.
- 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 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, tick 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 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; tick 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 the window without saving your choices).
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).
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.

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 select "All Time".)

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.
If you want each student's report to start on a new page, tick Page Break Between Students.
If you do not want reports for students who have no data for the selected assignment type, tick Hide Students Without Data.
Select Update Report under the report options. The report will open under those options. You will see a table for each student.

To create a PDF file of the report that you can print, select the PDF icon in the top right corner of the page.

The report will open in a new tab in your browser; use the browser or PDF options that are available to print the report.
When you are ready to leave the page, you can select the Home button to go back to the Home page. To go back to the Reports page, select the Reports button (circled below) or the Back to Reports link.
