Accelerated Reader Program
All of our S2 pupils are taking part in the Accelerated Reader programme. 'Accelerated Reader is a computer program that helps teachers manage and monitor children's independent reading practice. Your child picks a book at his \ her own level and reads it his \ her own pace. When finished, your child takes a short quiz on the computer. (Passing the quiz is an indication that your child understood what was being read.) AR gives both children and teachers feedback based on the quiz results, which the teacher then uses to help your child set targets and direct ongoing reading practice.'
For more information check out the Renaissance Learning website. (http://www.renlearn.co.uk/ )
Find out book levels, points and more at AR Bookfinder. (http://www.arbookfind.co.uk)
