Find the right books, sync Renaissance quizzes, track Reading Masters progress, and manage multiple readers with Shark Reader’s growing Living Catalog.
Shark Reader helps students and parents find books, track reading progress, and work toward school reading goals.
Search a growing catalog of books, keep reading history organized, and see which completed quizzes count toward Reading Masters awards.
Shark Reader is designed to be fast and easy enough for students to use while still giving parents the details they need.
Features include:
- Search books by title, author, series, or ISBN
- View reading level and available book details
- Sync completed Renaissance Reading Practice quizzes
- Track quiz scores, points, and reading history
- See progress toward Reading Masters awards
- Automatically match qualifying books to supported award categories
- Manage multiple readers in one household
- Keep each reader’s history, progress, and Renaissance sign-in separate
- Back up reading data with iCloud
- Use a growing Living Catalog that improves as new Renaissance books are discovered
Shark Reader uses an 80% or higher score on each individual qualifying quiz when calculating Reading Masters progress.
Book information is handled conservatively. When an exact edition or ISBN cannot be confirmed, Shark Reader leaves it unknown rather than guessing.
Shark Reader is built by Calm Belt Code with a focus on simple navigation, accurate book information, and reliable reading progress.
To say “our daughter reads A LOT” is an understatement. She can easily read a graphic novel, Diary of a Wimpy Kid book or several facts books in a single day - which is amazing, however it makes tracking her AR tests, and correlating which school award they belong to, daunting. Shark Reader changes all of that. I started out by syncing her entire history and updating which awards she’s already obtained (important if you’ve already received an award that can only be received one time). Now it’s part of our weekly routine to sync her week’s tests. No more back tracking or spending hours hand writing on different awards. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for your lil Shark Reader 🦈
