I am a second grade teacher in Fl. I love teaching second grade and encouraging my little ones to serve the Lord through reading and working hard! This is my fourth year as an honor roll classroom. I love the Accelerated Reader program and have seen amazing success since I've started using it. We always lvoe to read a book and follow up with the movie. Its fun and we love to do comparisons... generally we like to book better!

I teach 2nd grade. I love working with the students, helping them achieve their Accelerated Reader goals. My greatest success is having my whole class make not only meet their weekly set goals but also their goals set for every six weeks. The Renaissance National Honor Roll program provides me with the most recent information and I am able to communicate with other teachers about what they are doing as well. My student love reading novels and doing read aloud discussions!

I’ve been teaching 10 years in the Bonita Unified School District. I have taught second grade for nine years. This year I have a second and third combo class. Accelerated Reader gets my students excited about reading. Honor Roll has helped me keep my students on track and check their progress more often. Our school does monthly paw rallies for students who meet reading criteria.

I have been teaching public school first grade and kindergarten for 46 years. I love kindergarten because of the growth that occurs in one year. I teach in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I am very proud to be part of this amazing school family. My children love reading. I have personally seen the importance of reading practice. My children read every day and most of them read every night with their parents. I am very proud of the progress they all make by the end of the year.

 I'm currently in my 6th year as an educator. This is my 4th year teaching the 4th grade. My greatest success with Accelerated Reader this year was able to motivate 100% of my ELL students to read in both languages. We make a big deal about students completing their reading goals every 6 weeks.

I teach third grade, all subjects, at Caledonia Elementary School in Caledonia, MS. I love my third graders! The Accelerated Reader program helps keep the kids accountable. The students like to have something to work for and are excited when we make our goals. We ask our students to answer a math question before lining up for lunch and/or special class.

Jennifer Whitworth

I am a Bilingual teacher that has been teaching Kindergarten for 9 years. My greatest success with Accelerted Reader is helping my students with their fluency and seeing them grow as independent readers. Twice a week I choose a student to read a page or two from their library book or another book I have in the classroom. This makes them more confident in their reading.

I've been teaching 3rd grade for 7 years. This is the 3rd year in a row that my class participates in the AR National Honor Roll. I have seen major growth in my students reading levels using the AR program faithfully. I participate in the Renaissance National Honor Roll because I love to encourage my students to meet their Reading goals and make them active participants in the process. My students enjoy seeing their reports weekly to see where they stand with their levels.
