Students in Kindergarten through the 8th grade participate in the Accelerated Reader Program at Collins Catholic School. Students read books from the
Accelerated Reader list, currently more than 150,000 titles, and take quizzes over their book choice at one of the school computers located all over the campus. Grades and assessments vary per grade levels and rewards are given quarterly and yearly to those students that meet their goals. We utilize AR Enterprise which is hosted online with tests taken on our school computers. The program includes 150,000 titles for AR testing, including an extensive list of nonfiction books, and textbooks. To check to see which books you have at home that will be on the new program, go to www.renlearn.com, choose Store from the top menu bar, then Search Quizzes from the side menu bar.A special option with Renaissance Learning is Home Connect which allows students to view from home their child/children’s reading record and to also receive emails when an AR quiz is taken.
The Parent Teacher Committee rewards top readers at various times throughout the year.
