From reviewing Accelerated reader it appears that this product reaches different learning styles by letting students choose. Students are able to choose between fiction and non-fiction stories, articles, and other styles. Since students are instantly able to receive results from quizzes, it can be known if this type of reading material reached the student. I think the ability to review this can help the teacher understand the different styles their students have in the classroom.
Accelerated Reader differentiates instruction in many different ways for teachers and students. One way, is that it creates a grade level equivalent for the book the student will or already has read. This allows the student to choose books that will make him or her feel confident about reading and understanding the material. Also, when taking the test, it allows the student to pick how the book was read, if the student was read to, read with, or if they read independently. This information is kept in the computer and allows the teacher to run reports and find out which way the student understands the book better. Accelerated Reader has many different report options that the teacher can run reports on because of the different quizzes that it offers. Reading Practice, vocabulary practice, literacy skills, and textbook quizzes are the four different types of quizzes that Accelerateed Reader offers.
Reports can be ran on an individual student's progress or on the whole class. It keeps track of the leveled books they read, how many books have been read.
Personally, having used Accelerated Reader, I would run reports and use them to enhance my small group instruction, and it would also help me plan what types of books that I would recommend to my students.
I would recommend looking into Accelerated Reader and with the proper implementation it would enhance not only student reading but also help the teacher plan and assess student gains.
AR differentiates instruction to students based on their reading level. AR has a grade level reading equivilancy and after taking a test on a book the program, based on the score of your test, will suggest additional books for the student to read and take quizes on. As the students scores improve the book suggestions become more difficult.
Accelerated Reader differentiates instruction because it provides lots of options and opportunities for students to self-select books and reading materials at their instructional level. This way, students can all participate in the same activity but they are able to work at their own level.
Accelerated Reader differentiates instruction for different learning styles by providing assessments for books at different reading levels. Students may choose books that interest them, read them at their own pace, and take an AR test for comprehension. The AR software monitors each student’s reading comprehension and makes reading suggestions based on each student’s progress. This program enables the teacher to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of each student in the class.
AR differentiates instruction for different learning styles by allowing students to choose which books they would like to read, allowing them to read at their own pace, evaluating their comprehension of the book and suggesting other books at their instructional level. This allows all of your students to be working on reading at the same time, yet allows them to work at their own, individual instructional level. As their reading and comprehension abilities improve, their instructional level will increase.
I've had a hard time seeing how Accelerated Reader differentiates based on learning style. I understand that students have the ability to choose their books, but it seems like they still have to read it and take a quiz about the book on the computer.
The differentiation that is the strength of accelerated reader relates more to the ability level of the students than to their learning style. Students choose books at their reading level, rather than being tracked into a reading group within the classroom. Because there are many books to choose from, there is less stigma about who is in the "gifted" group and who is in the "slow" group.
The Accelerated Reader program continuously monitors the progress of your students and gives you immediate feedback on them. The Accelerated Reader is published by Renaissance Learning. This program assesses your students' reading level and then gives you suggestions for them at their own level. It also prints out results and monitors students continuously so you can see their progress or where they need additional help. It will personlize reading practice to each student's current level, it will include activities that are "read to", "read with" or "read independently" and then assess their reading, vocabulary and literacy skills. It will hopefully build a love of reading and learning.

Accelerated Reader differentiates instruction because is provides different opportunities for students to self-select books based on their reading level.

The tests included in the program act as solid assessments which monitor the effectiveness of the differentiated instruction.
