Students at Win-E-Mac Elementary took part in ReadQuest, a nationwide reading event on Friday, March 3, 2017. They joined more than 12,000 educators and tens of thousands of students in Renaissance’s annual one-day reading celebration that encouraged K–12 students to celebrate the power of reading—and the incredible places it takes us.
Students read books, nonfiction articles, and took Accelerated Reader 360® quizzes on what they had read to contribute to the national reading effort.
On the ReadQuest website, students were able to see their quizzes count toward the live books-read ticker, the results of the poll in Accelerated Reader 360, and the random winners drawn throughout the day.
Approximately 200 students from Win-E-Mac took part in the shared effort. All participants received a Certificate of National Participation.
“ReadQuest was a great event for our students,” said Mr. Hanson (5th grade teacher) “They loved seeing their Accelerated Reader 360 quizzes count toward the national books-read ticker. Our students gained valuable reading practice, strengthened their vocabularies, and had a blast. We’re so proud of our students and can’t wait until next year’s event.”
