1,000,000 Words reached -
Congratulations to all of the wonderful readers in our school! We smashed our target of 1,000,000 words on the 20th November with an amazing 1,222, 842 words reached. It has been an amazing combined effort by the children, and means they will be rewarded with a night off homework next week!
What is Accelerated Reader?
Accelerated Reader is a computer-based program that helps us track students’ independent reading progress. Students choose books at their own reading level, read at their own pace, and then take short quizzes to check comprehension. The program allows teachers to monitor how well students understand what they read and encourages them to challenge themselves with new books.
Million Word Challenge!
In the hallway outside Margaret’s office, we have a beautiful reading tree, which represents a target for our students to collectively reach 1 million words read. We will be monitoring progress weekly, and every time we hit the 1 million-word milestone, the entire school will enjoy a special reward: a night off homework!
To encourage all of our readers, we will also be offering spot prizes for students who make an extra effort, whether it’s through reading more, improving their comprehension, or showing a love for books.
New to the school this term is - Reading Eggs. This is a fun app which makes learning to read interesting and engaging for kids, with great online reading games and activities. Each lesson has plenty of interactive activities as well as high-quality videos and songs. The platform offers extensive tools for the teacher for monitoring the progress as well as worksheets and plans for extra activities.
