COMPLETE AN AR QUIZ

Accelerated Reader is a computer programme that helps teachers manage, monitor and improve children's independent reading practice.

Your child chooses a book (with support) based on their interests and at his/her own level (this is a very important part of the programme) and reads at his/her own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz online - passing the quiz is an indication that your child has understood what has been read. Accelerated Reader gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help the child set targets and direct ongoing reading practice.

We are so proud of all our children's achievements in Accelerated Reader - well done everyone!

September 2023

A huge thank you to anyone who has donated books to our AR library. The photo above shows some of those donated during the summer and now added to the AR library. The children get very excited when new titles are added and when multiples are available so they don't have to wait too long if a popular book is already on loan. We are very proud of the hundreds of books available in our library. If you have any gently used books that you would like to donate to the library please speak to Mrs Curragh or leave them at the school office.

To celebrate World Book Day 2024 we asked for donations of books and soft toys for a school sale. This was a HUGE success with lots of used books going to new homes and £360 raised to purchase lots of new books for our AR library.

The below photo shows of some of our 2023-24 word millionaires with our new non-fiction books!
