Accelerated Reader/Renaissance Place

The Startzville Elementary Library is dedicated to the academic success of STZES students, and implements Accelerated Reader as a supplementary program to encourage and promote reading.  Accelerated Reader, a component of Renaissance Place, is easy to use and highly motivational.  First the student selects and reads a book.  Then the student takes an Accelerated Reader Reading Practice Quiz on a computer, earning points for correct answers.  Renaissance Place computes the student's score, adds the results into the AR database, and generates a report that provides the student with immediate information on his/her performance.  Our school now has access to over 100,000 Accelerated Reader quizzes!  To find books that have Accelerated Reader quizzes, click here.

Individual classrooms may offer various incentives to the students for successfully meeting point goals.  In addition to these incentives, the library sponsors four AR Celebrations during the school year for students who meet the grade level point goals during each nine weeks marking period outlined below:
