Note to Educator:
Thank you for your interest in Renaissance Learning reading intervention curriculum.
At Renaissance Learning, we recognize the impact that standards and assessment reform
have on schools. We share the concerns of educators and administrators that students
perform well and that teachers have the resources they need to support their efforts to
address standards and assessments.
Renaissance Learning provides alignment reports to customers to show how the skills
within each product align to the skills within academic standards. The alignment report
presents all of the academic standards for a specific state/agency with the aligned
Renaissance Learning product skills indented below each standard.
Renaissance Learning recognizes that academic standards encompass the entire set of
learning and expectations that teachers are responsible for and that teachers are the key to
iii
using products to address the entire set of standards. The Renaissance Learning alignment
report supports teachers in this role by clearly identifying product skills that are aligned
to the skills in the standards. The Renaissance Learning alignment reports for Successful
Reader reflect the use of a strict alignment strategy. Contact Customer Assistance
[email protected] or call (800)338-4204 to request a copy of the complete
alignment strategy (KMNet document R41078).
Successful Reader focuses on the most critical reading skills that have the greatest impact
on reading achievement. The product features guided independent reading practice, the
opportunity to read along with professional recordings of the focus books, participation in
classroom discussion, and written responses. All of these activities build the critical
comprehension skills required for reading growth.
By nature, some of the expectations in standards require either teachers or students to
perform tasks outside of this product. A standard set may be more fully met by multiple
products that each contribute differently to supporting the standards.
In the alignment report, you will notice a product domain “Overall Product Skills (OP)”.
These skills are designated Overall Product Skills because they are skills that all students
gain through use of the product.
In addition to the alignment report, the document “Successful Reader and the Common
Core State Standards: Reading Intervention” provides further information regarding how
Successful Reader supports the goals of the Common Core State Standards. Contact
Customer Assistance [email protected] or call (800)338-4204 to request a copy of
this document (KMNet document R53336).
We hope this report answers your questions regarding the alignment of Renaissance
Learning product skills to standards. If you have any questions about the alignment
report, please feel free to call us at (800) 338-4204.
Sincerely,
Renaissance Learning
