Renaissance Reading Program
The Renaissance Reading Program is a digital program that helps students and teachers manage and monitor independent reading practice.
Students pick a book at their own level (this is assessed by the program in English classes) and read it at their own pace. When students finish the book, they take a short quiz on the computer to check their understanding.
Students take their book with them to read for 5 minutes at the start of each class, with an English class, once a cycle, dedicated to library time and sustained reading.
As students read and take quizzes, they earn points and track their progress toward their individual reading goal.
Teachers conference regularly with students to support reading engagement, goal setting, and comprehension strategies.
Sustained and consistent reading builds ability and better academic achievement.
