Reading Renaissance

Reading Renaissance Program

Reading Renaissance is the set of teaching techniques that, when combined with Accelerated Reader, results in maximum reading growth for every student. The Reading Renaissance program promotes a comprehensive approach to incorporating large amounts of literature-based reading practice into your reading program.

Reading Renaissance is a reading improvement program that emphasizes increased student reading practice time, both in school and at home. The program supplements our existing reading curriculum and uses the Accelerated Reading (AR) book list and computer testing for increased accountability.
