Renaissance Home Connect: Accelerated Reader

We’re bringing the classroom to your living room. Research confirms that parental involvement in a child’s education is a strong predictor of student achievement. By logging on, you can see progress toward reading goals, sign up for email alerts, and so much more.

What ALL Parents and Students Should Read:

Day to Month:

20 minutes a day x 30 days a month= 600 minutes a month (equivalent to 10 hours).

Month to Year:

(Reading 20 minutes daily) 10 hours x 12 months= 120 hours

Percentile Performances for State Tests:

The number of minutes spent in reading correlate positively with reading achievement, and other academic advancement. Students who scored at the 90th percentile spent five times as many minutes as children at the 50th percentile and more than 200 times as many minutes as children performing at the 10th percentile.
