Accelerated Reader

The Accelerated Reader Program through Renaissance Learning will be the tool we use to practice and support reading in our classrooms. Students are able to choose to read a book or article that is of interest to them. A reading level and goal are set for each student based on where they are as readers. When a student completes a reading, they take a short quiz to monitor comprehension. Based on their score, students are given points toward their individual goal. At the end of each trimester, incentives and celebrations are available for students who meet their goals. Progress is monitored through a diagnostic benchmark, STAR Reading, taken three times a year.
