READING RENAISSANCE
Reading is one of the most important skills your child will ever learn. The child who reads well - and loves to read – will excel in school and achieve personal growth.
The staff at West Side Elementary is committed to this belief, which is why we place and emphasis on improving reading across the curriculum. To accomplish the goal, we have initiated a program throughout the school called Reading Renaissance; a computer- based reading motivation system currently used by 150,000 schools in North America. Reading Renaissance has three main objectives:
-
To dramatically improve student reading performance, as measured by standardized tests;
-
To improve students’ critical-thinking skills;
-
To instill in students, a lifelong love of reading.
We will be doing many exciting things throughout the year with Reading Renaissance.
So far, the students at West Side Elementary have read 12,653 books ( and we are only halfway through the school year)!
Please ask your child about the book he/she is reading.
