SCHOOL-HOME CONNECTIONS
Classroom Tools Available Online
Accelerated Reader
Students in 4th and 5th grades participate in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program. AR helps teachers and librarians manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Students select books at their own levels to read at their own pace. When finished, they take a short quiz on the computer. Passing the quiz is an indication of comprehension. AR gives students, teachers, and librarians feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice.

Renaissance Home Connect
Renaissance Home Connect improves the school-to-home connection by allowing parents and students to log in to a website and view the student’s reading practice and progress towards goals. Access to online results promotes discussion between parents and students, which motivates students and can make reading and math practice even more e ective. In addition, parents can specify up to six email addresses to receive automatic updates in English or Spanish on their student’s reading progress.
