Accelerated Reader

Buna Elementary students have access to all Accelerated Reader quizzes available through Renaissance Learning. This program is available to 1^st grade – 5^th grade students.

The program, entitled Renaissance Place, is a web based program, and allows students to test on any Accelerated Reader book instead of just the ones for which a test has been purchased by the school. This gives students access to thousands of tests. Many books that students have at home and teachers have in their classroom libraries are now available for testing.

Students have an individual username and password for the program which should be kept confidential. Taking a test for another student is not allowed. Points are awarded for each test passed. These points accumulate throughout the school year, and prizes are awarded by the PTA. These prizes are numerous and, depending on points earned, may include a Pizza Party towards the end of the year.

There is  a site available which will let you know if a book is on the Accelerated Reader list and, if so, what the Reading Level and Point Value are for the book. The website address is www.arbookfind.com. Just type in the title of the book in the search box and hit enter.
