The quizzes consist of Reading Practice, Vocabulary Practice, Literacy Skills and Textbook Quizzes. - Renaissance Learning also offers Home Connect, an Accelerated Reading program available to students at home. Students and parents can log in online to track their progress, review the student's activity, search for additional AR books and more.
