Accelerated Reader Renaissance Place Program

Recipients:  Elementary Students

This reading enhancement program challenges all readers - from the novice to the most advanced reader - to read more quality literature at their own level. When combined with the Renaissance Place online support, students take a variety of assessments online.  Teachers are provided with detailed, objective data to target instruction and ensure success for every student, regardless of level, from emergent reader to college prep!

The goals of the program include creating measurable growth in student reading achievement, helping students become independent, self-directed readers and learners, making reading fun and helping students develop a lasting love of reading.

The Foundation for Public Education is paying for implementation of this program in two PVUSD elementary schools: North Ranch and Desert Springs.  Our goal is to expand the program in the 2007-2008 school year.  At that time Paradise Valley will be the first public school district in the state to have the web-based Accelerated Reader/Renaissance Place Program in every elementary school in the district.
