The goal of the AR program is to encourage student reading level while instilling a love of reading into every child.
· AR will be used by every classroom teacher at Paris Elementary School.
· AR will be part of the daily schedule in each homeroom class (20 minute minimum).
· All goals will be established according to the chart provided by Renaissance Learning.
· Students will be expected to reach their AR goal each six weeks.
· Teachers will update Renaissance Place with student goals within the first week of each six week grading period.
· Students will strive for 80%-100% accuracy on all tests.
· Tests may be deleted one time to encourage student comprehension and retention.
· Students will read within their ZPD until their AR goal is achieved. To encourage student choice when reading, each child will be provided a book pass to allow “off-level” reading. This pass may be used at anytime during the six weeks period. Students may also read out of their ZPD when they have attained their goal.
· Students who attain their goal within a six week period will receive a prize for the for their efforts (i.e. a prize will be posted in the library for all students to earn upon reaching their goal- the prize will change with each six weeks).
· An additional reward will be given to student attaining their goal for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grading period.
· A final reward will be earned by students attaining their goals for the 4th, 5th, and 6th grading period.
· Parents will be able to view their child’s AR report via Internet access through the PSSD website.
