STAR/AR

Your child recently took the Renaissance Star Test.  The STAR test is designed to help identify student reading levels.  You will receive a STAR Report today stating your child’s ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) and a numbered reading range.  This range will help students choose books in the library that are appropriate, yet challenging reading levels.  I have assigned Accelerated Reader point goals, as well as an average percentage goal.  The students will take AR tests to obtain points while striving to achieve an average of 85% or above.  Students who meet this criterion, will participate in quarterly AR celebrations!  Accelerated Reader points and test average will be calculated into overall reading grades at the end of each quarter.  I also sent home a Renaissance Home Connect.  This informative letter gives login information for parents.  You may login to your child’s account to view history of reading tests and grades.  It’s an excellent tool to keep you informed!

Have a great week!
