Library - Accelerated Reader
As an integral part of encouraging our students to read for pleasure, we use Accelerated Reader which is a computer program that helps teachers to monitor students' independent reading practice. It is designed to provide teachers with data to monitor and personalise reading activities. It motivates students to read more, suitably challenging, books and raises literacy standards by diagnosing problem areas and helping to direct on-going reading practice.
Reading Millionaires
Accelerated Reader Students Strive to Reach Goals:
How do you become a Millionaire? Read one million words!
Students who have read over a million words this school year belong to a select group of Accelerated Reader Millionaires, and have their names displayed on the library 'Millionaires Board'. A word count is generated each time a student reads a book and then takes a reading practice quiz online using our Accelerated Reader software.
Certificates are issued along the way to students who have achieved Bronze (250,000 words) and Silver (500,000 words)
Well done to our current 'Reading Millionaires'!
