Blue Lake Elementary Media Program

Our library media program implemented the Renaissance STAR Early Literacy, STAR Reading, and Accelerated Reader for all K-5 students. This reading program allows students to focus on their own reading growth, as we monitor their progress and provide our students feedback. The media program provide staff development and presentation about the benefits of this program-Renaissance. During media class, the students were taught how to see their reading goals, how to monitor their growth, and how to take Accreted Reader quizzes. Students will be rewarded for achieving their reading goals. They are engaged to read based on interests and reading levels that are "just-right" for the students. The program provides over 200,000 quizzes of various titles and genres in our library. Students understand that in order to feel success and demonstrate growth, they must practice. When student choose their interested books they are more likely to read and practice. This will help them increase their comprehension, vocabulary, and literacy skills. As result, they create a love for reading and feel an exhilaration in their success.
