Field's Amazing Readers (FAR)
FAR is a school wide supplemental reading program that improves
literacy skills and fosters a love of reading. Children read books in a
reading range which has been determined by a diagnostic test using
software from Renaissance Learning. Although these reading ranges are
expressed numerically, they do not represent grade
levels. This Zone of Proximal Development, or ZPD, enables each child
to choose books within his or her range for practice and
sincere enjoyment. As your child reads more books, the reading range
will increase. When your child finishes a book, he/she takes a short
comprehension quiz using Renaissance software (an Accelerated Reader
quiz). Quizzes may be taken during non-instructional class time in the
media center, computer lab or the classroom. Computers are also
available in the Media Center from 3:00-3:30 after school (except
Wednesdays) with written parent permission.
Parents are encouraged to support their child's reading at home. Your
child and your child's teacher are great sources for additional
information.
