Students at HCCS participate in the Accelerated Reader (AR™) program. AR is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children’s independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his own level and reads it at his own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz (STAR Assessment) on the computer. Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was read. AR gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set goals and direct ongoing reading practice. Parents can view their child’s progress by logging in to Renaissance Connect.
