For over 20 years, Jesus the Good Shepherd School has fostered a love of reading in students through the Renaissance Accelerated Reader Program. JGS students complete Renaissance Star Reading Assessments every nine weeks during the school year, which provide teachers with universal screening, progress monitoring and goal setting criteria for each student on an individual and age-appropriate basis. A reading goal is assigned based on the reading assessment scores for the nine weeks and students are then allowed to read books of their liking within their reading goal parameters. The Accelerated Reader Program guides students to select books on their reading level, read independently and take indepent AR quizzes on each book read right from their school assigned laptop. JGS teachers monitor reading progress closely, set individual goals and challenges for their students all while the AR program tracks their reading progress.
