The Foulks Ranch Accelerated Reader Program

The Foulks Ranch Accelerated Reader Program

As a school, we are excited about our Intranet AR through Renaissance Learning and are confident that it supports our students’ success. The focus of this program is for students in 1st through 6th grades to improve their reading skills and to ‘plant the seed’ for our students to become lifelong readers for learning and enjoyment.  Our school has a subscription to all Renaissance AR Quizzes that are available, over 100,000 quizzes!
 
Students read books from their classroom, public, or school library.  Once they have completed a book, they take a comprehension test on the computer. Based on their percentage of correct answers, they will be awarded a designated number of points for each test completed. These points are then accrued throughout the year for various incentives and report card assessments.  Accelerated Reader (AR) allows students to take on-campus quizzes on books they have read for points.  Each book has a designated reading level as well as a point value.

Improve the School-to-Home Connection:  With Home Connect, you can link school and home to make reading practice even more effective. By connecting to this website https://Hosted17.renlearn.com/286588/HomeConnect/Login.aspx from your home computer, students and parents can:
  • See progress toward reading goals.
  • Conduct book searches.
  • Review quiz results.
  • View the number of books read, words read, and quizzes passed.
  • And much, much more.
 
Your child then uses his or her Renaissance Place/Accelerated Reader username and password to log in to Home Connect from home. With Home Connect you can also click on Email Setup, to sign up to receive emails showing your child’s quiz. Keep in mind that this website is only to view your child’s progress in Accelerated Reader.
