Accelerated Reader Aim: To raise pupil enjoyment and confidence when reading. We give each child a book they should be able to access independently, without becoming frustrated. The focus is on the comprehension, rather than just decoding the words. Will enable us to further understand what your child needs for reading support. Please don’t worry if a book seems ‘lower’ than what your child may have read before! This is part of developing them as independent, fluent readers with a comprehensive understanding of a variety of texts.
